Bounce house is 4m x 4m x 3m, soft play set is 3m x 4m — measure your space before booking, and they'll ask about parking next to the drop-off point. There are smaller 3m x 3m castles and a 4m bubble house too.

Cape TownToddler-focused soft play created for children under four, with ball ponds, climbing pieces, roller coasters and themed sets. Jumping castles, children's tables and chairs, slides and bubble machines can be added for older siblings or a fuller setup.
Keeping an item for the whole weekend costs one and a half times the day rate rather than three days, delivered on the Friday and collected on the Monday. That puts the ball pond at R600 and the smallest soft-play set at R870.
