Customer Reviews

Thank you very much for the Christmas lunch, I was very happy with the service and my family had a really good time. My toddler especially enjoyed the play ground. The food staff was friendly and helpful and I also enjoyed the child minders. In term of admin, making the booking was easy even when I had to make a few changes. Overall a good experience and I am happy to book again :). If I had to come up with one improvement, I would have preferred to have a table closer to the playground so that I could watch my child play. Please can the booking specify that option next time. Have a wonderful blessed year ahead. Kind regards Kelly Olls - Kelly


I was not so happy as our seat selected not good warm and far from playground and swimmin gpool for the kids. Food was ok but I think for the price can be better - Deirdre


Thank you so much for a wonderful Christmas day. We arrived at 11am for the kids to ride bikes, swim and play before having a scrumptious lunch and only left at 4pm. A wonderful day had by all. Will definitely recommend and we will be back. Thank you for giving up your day to make ours so special. - Shireen


Excellent service, will definitely visit again. I just had a slight emergency at the pool, the pool is a bit dirty and as a result slippery, my 4 year old almost drowned fortunately I was close by. Other than that very pleasant surroundings and restaurant even posted it on my Instagram social page(@lebomapz) - Lebohang
