There are complimentary board games, game consoles, a story session at 1800 every day and an excellent babysitting service for your peace of mind.
Dining
Signal Restaurant was named in honour of Signal Hill which has a rich history. While the Cape was still a halfway house for ships from Europe en route to India, everyday a loud bang was fired from the canon on Signal Hill to announce the arrival of midday. This tradition is still in place today. The restaurant offers all-day dining with exotic fish dishes, basic sandwiches and soup on the menu. The real dinner menu is extensive with some authentic South African dishes.
