Had the most unpleasant experience on Sunday 7 January. Our family came through from Somerset West to spend the day and we wanted to kick off our day with a great breakfast therefore we arranged to meet up here. Having been here before we knew that they were kid friendly that made our sister feel comfortable to bring along her almost 2-year-old. This is in fact not the case.
