There really is something to be said for having all your favourite services rolled into one in a friendly neighbourhood location, and the Uitzicht Centre in Okavango Road is the ultimate when it comes to a relaxed, efficient and convenient location for a variety of needs.
For starters, the Hair & Beauty Bar here – a unisex salon – pride themselves on being a family hair salon for all ages, and their services include everything from cuts, blow-drys, up-styles and highlights to foils and tints as well as the occasional beauty treat. Open 7 days a week, they cater for kids of all ages and even offer pensioners a special treat on Wednesdays. (www.hairandbeautybar.co.za)
And while you are getting spoilt, you might as well get your wheels tuned (or ask your hubby to shop for some new acquisitions) for your next family biking outing. And Cape Town Cycles is just the place to do it. Their lovely floor room and excellent workshop is complemented with experienced and super-helpful staff members – who will even treat you with a good cup of coffee while they sort out your cycling needs. With plenty of mountain bikes, kid’s bicycles and accessories on offer – you’re bound to find exactly what you need. The workshop offers major and minor services and an extensive list of repair options, so your wheels are in the best possible hands. (http://capetowncycles.co.za)
In terms of nourishment, Gaeta’s Italian Pizza delivers in spades, and this neighbourhood eatery has earned its stripes when it comes to providing excellent food and a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. Takeaways and home deliveries are offered too, but many patrons just love the vibe so much that they end up enjoying their meals here. And there is so much to enjoy… With everything from classic, vegetarian and even gluten-free wood-fired thin-based pizzas in the mix (with a whole range of toppings to pick and choose from), there are also various salads, pastas, a selection of beef and chicken burgers, generously sizes pork ribs, and succulent beef ribs with chips or onion rings to choose from.
