Venue - Chavonnes Battery Museum, V&A Waterfront Cape Town

VENUE: What a wonderful hidden gem at the V&A Waterfront. This is an incredibly fascinating museum - when they did excavations for a new building a couple of years back, they found the ruins from this original fort; this area has now been preserved and is a heritage site. They have such interesting tours that they offer, sharing the history of South Africa (all dressed in period garb). This museum is run by the very dynamic Dale Dodgen.


Dale and her team went out of their way to give us a wonderfully memorable experience this morning.

FOOD: The spread was lovely, and beautifully presented.

PARKING: It's at the Waterfront, so there is ample parking available. However, make sure that you set enough time aside to deal with early morning traffic (if your event is early in the morning).

RECOMMENDABLE: Absolutely - they can comfortably accommodate 20 people (if not more!) in the seating arrangement that we had.

RECOMMENDABLE: Definitely! 9/10
