"We all have those days...pile of laundry, messy house, empty fridge and the thought crosses your mind...
Where can we go? Good question,
Where can one go for a GREAT meal and a glass of vino/great cup of coffee WITH YOUR KIDS?
Not many places.
Why do "they" not cater for the most precious things in our lives. Our kids.
And so the idea was born.
FREERANGE LIFESTYLE CENTRE
A place to go to be FREE, free from the stress of keeping your child still at a restaurant table, free from trying to entertain him/her just so you can get through the meal to leave."

"To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." Nelson Mandela, June 1999
Taken directly from the website [https://www.apartheidmuseum.org/about-museum-0]:
"For anyone wanting to understand and experience what apartheid South Africa was really like, a visit to the Apartheid Museum is fundamental.
