Entertainment & Activities
Love the retro Labia Theatre next to the iconic Mount Nelson Hotel in Gardens. Tickets R50 (can't get cheaper) and ask about their pasta special teamed with Societi Bistro (an upmarket and delicious bistro across the road), where you can get a pasta and movie for two for R110 for both of you (not each of you, both!)
