An important and often overlooked site that played a vital role in the foundation of South Africas history, and a wealth of information from their enthusiastic executive by the name of Dale, speak to her and she will captivate and inspire you. Would go back just to have her explain and share the vast knowledge and passion for the battery itself and the history and humble beginnings of Cape Town and its trade routes and roots! A+ 20 out of 10
I loved this little museum. It must be often overlooked by tourists. In January, they had an exhibition of Young Photographer of the Year. Fantastic photography. Dont pass it by.
The museum is fantastic. However the manager(Daryl)the lady, has a serious issue with regards to customer service and treating all people the same. She has a bad attitude and I am aware that she always displays one of disregard to people of colour. I have been informed about this many times before, Yesterday I experienced this for myself. Thank goodness to Mathew, who also works there but is the friendliest, kindest person there. Thank you Mathew for your assistance and kind hospitality.In response to you Daryl, nobody tried to sneak into the museum. You were to rude and arrogant to ask us what we required. You did not respectfully ask us..please tell us how...Harties ouens is the start of a respectful request. Maybe you communicate to your staff and people within your circle in this manner and they are ok with that but I am surely not one of them and this display is not acceptable to me. FYI: We were waiting for the rest of our group when you decided to display your eagerness to speak rather than listen to your guests.IMO people who work with other people should be sent for some serious customer service training and some lessons about respecting people but then again respect and common decency cannot be taught to a fellow human being, it is part of ones make up.I challenge any other person that has had the Ill pleasure of meeting Daryl at Chevonnes Battery to comment on this site.Oh and yes it was my pleasure donating money to the museum. I will make all my future arrangements with Mathew, you can learn alot from him especially when it comes to dealing with your guests.
Its a nice place with lot of information if you want to know more about cape town during apartheid era
Better than I expected. But dont expect too much either
Well presented piece of almost lost history. Well looked after
Great to be able to see our local history so well preserved.
Here you should be able to see the remains of one of the old building in Cape Town and the history link to it
Very interesting to be there and have a closer insight into the history of the Cape. Definitely worth to see!
Very interesting the history behind the place is amazing.
We were there for an outing. The guy who gave the presentation was rather boring. Also a 1 sided bias history.
Not what I expected from the hype.the new urban park did not amount up to my expectations at all.this space is ideal for teens who want to hang out and have cool skater park vibe chill area but not a space for your toddlers to your pre teens to enjoy.
Interesting part of history rediscovered when building was erected on this site.
Very underated. I highly recommend checking it out.
Very cheap entry. Interesting and good showcases of things
Lots of hours whiled at away here on our fascinating history.
