Absolutely! Non-mobile, lap-sized babies are incredibly welcome. We completely understand if they need to feed, fuss, or cry. We kindly request that older toddlers stay at home with a caregiver.

I am still pregnant, is this suitable for me?

Yes! Gaining these practical skills on sleep, routine, feeding, and mental health before your baby arrives will give you a massive boost of confidence.

What if I have strict dietary requirements?

The hotel caters to standard vegetarian and meat options. If you have strict allergies, or require specific Halaal or Kosher meals, please email us at [email protected] at least 5 days before the event.

Can my partner/husband attend?

We highly encourage it! Dads and partners are a critical part of the team. Tickets are sold per person, so they will need their own individual R250 ticket to cover their catering and seat.

The hotel offers secure, free on-site parking. When you arrive, security will guide you to the designated parking area, and clear signage will lead you straight to the room.
