Disconnect from technology

I love Friendly Local Gamestore! Beyond selling cool board games, puzzles (for all ages and even doggos) and art kits, you can spend an afternoon trying out new board games in store. It’s a great way to unwind and relax, disconnecting from the digital world for a while.
Put away your phone and disconnect from technology! Whether you’re really into boardgames, art or puzzles this place has got something to thrill you! Even if just to spend the afternoon testing new games instore 😀

Want to unwind within the peaceful embrace of nature? Me too! Emmerentia dam and the park that surrounds it is ideal for picnics, cycling, kicking a ball around, feeding ducks or watching the dogs play. The park itself is massive with designations for different activities. Visit the rose garden or the boat house if you’re keen for a paddle.

Get around safely

We recommend Uber as a way to get around the city safely and quickly. South Africa doesn’t have formal public transport beyond the busses and trains, though their routes are limited and we don’t recommend walking in the city. What you will notice is many mini bus taxis that transport a lot of our citizens, but understanding the signs and signals used within this system would be quite daunting for people who haven’t grown up here.
