Loud, Crowded, Grease-Stained, and Gloriously Drunk: Where the World Eats After Hours

"No matter where you decide to party, every night here comes to the same, delicious end—and that end has a scent. And no, I don't mean dagga (weed). I mean smoke, and spice, which we follow to any of the chatty men busy behind their nondescript street carts, braaing up piping-hot boerewors for people craving a late-night bite beneath the elegantly latticed balconies of a once-glorious stretch of Victorian buildings on Long Street."

Great indoor heated swimming pool in the middle of the city. Friendly staff at entrance. Multiple lifeguards on duty. Showers are too small and need attention but everything else neat and clean. Great swimming experience for kids and adults.

Had a lovely experience here. The staff were incredibly helpful in guiding me around, and the lifeguards were attentive and reassuring. A hot shower after the swim was just what I needed. My only wish is that the pool had been a bit cleaner—there was some green stuff floating around. It wasn’t enough to stop me from swimming, but it did take away from the overall experience. Ladies only time between 10am and 2pm on Tuesday is a genius idea.🙌

What a pleasant morning enjoying the pristine facilities at the Long Street Baths. Entry fee R35 per adult. Pool is heated with sufficient lifeguards on duty should it get really busy. Very refreshing experience. Clean bathrooms with hot showers . Highly recommended!

Beautiful and clean swimming pool with a very nice team ! Recently restaured/repainted etc... BUT the only bad point are the shower cabins (women side) , I ask myself why they didn't repair them also 🤔 (Peeled walls, mold on the walls, really ...)

Loved it.... Great place to swim during winter. Just wish they had the resources to have a heater or heated floors in the bathroom. The showers have hot running water which is great

The swimming pool itself is clean, well-maintained, and enjoyable. However, the surrounding environment is in poor condition. The spectator benches are worn out, with some slanted and others taped off with red tape. Cockroaches were visible in the seating area, and at one point, a man was sleeping on the benches. Additionally, there seemed to be an excessive number of staff members idly lounging around the pool rather than actively contributing to the facility’s upkeep. Overall, the experience was acceptable, but addressing these issues would significantly improve the atmosphere and make the visit much more enjoyable.

Had a youth group there on Saturday . The staff and lifesavers made us all feel welcome and were very very helpful. In picture attached you can see how they gave some of the youth a quick swimming lesson. Thank you once again . From NAC YP group

Really enjoyed it🏊‍♀️ The water was not cold, pool safe lots of life guards and bathrooms clean 👍 Tuesday mornings from 10am-2pm are for women only, which is great because it was so calm and relaxing you can really get your laps in😌
