Suzanne is a gem. She gave me the most wonderful facial, pedicure, foot massage and manicure. Completely professional, and also warm and friendly. The foot massage made me wish I had booked a full body massage - I will definitely do so the next time. I could not be happier.

What a location ....first class establishment, all instruction was of the highest quality. As a member of HM Forces I have been involved with firearms for the last 40 years....the range practises were delivered in the safest manner that you would expect from such professional staff. Jonathan was the calmest easy going instructor that I could have wished for seeing that neither my wife or son had ever held let lone fired a Glock 17 Before. Just a great family thing to do and enjoy

Most impressive. A fascinating insight into both the naval and social history of South Africa. Exhibits range from the days of Nelson right up until the present. You can easily while away 2 to three hours here. And it’s free! All they ask is for a donation. The staff we met were exceptionally knowledgeable helpful and professional. Can’t rate this place highly enough.

Percy is a dear soul who is living his passion. He opened this store more than 30 years ago with his own collection of toys. He also sells model cars at some of the best prices you'll find in the country. Having lost his wife, and being so dedicated about the store, the entry price is nothing to pay as it's how he keeps the doors open to this special place. He is very shy, but once you get him talking, you could listen to him for hours May God bless his soul, and keep the doors of the toy museum open for many more years.
