THE PLAYPARK AT HAASENDAL MALL



Home to one of the earliest Cape Dutch gabels in existence is Hazendal Farm along Botelary Rd in Botellary Hills. A stones throw away, Haasendal Mall has affectionately been named with some resemblance to the historic Estate. A award-winning all-indoors playpark has been built in the mall and is called, "PLAYALOT". Here children can climb huge structures with safety nets around and slide down giant slides. For the very fit there are proper climbing walls with specialised supervision.
