World class facilities! Please tell me where else in the world you’d get Vervet Monkeys as spectators, and as a great disturbance to my opponent’s attention 😁 This Padel club boasts 5 Doubles courts, as well as a super handy Singles Court! Early evenings and weekends are busy, but with forward planning, matches are easily booked and using the Club’s WhatsApp Group, one can quickly find like-level players to play against. The Club features a small shop, packed with drool-worthy Adidas racquets, Adidas Padel Shoes. Bags and a stack of fresh balls to whack your opponents with 😍 Additionally, the club is surrounded with Astro-turf type material, and sports bean bags to chill out in, a large area for warm-up stretching and benches at each court, with elevated trays on the outside of each court to hold water bottles. A fabulous little health store Kuai, offers coffee, snacks, light meals and non-alcoholic beverages. Each court has its own lighting switch, and the courts are explicitly viewed from a hotel’s rooms and breakfast balcony: so the hotel’s guests get free entertainment watching matches every morning. It’s advisable to play early mornings or late afternoons and well into the night: through the Midday, even in Winter, the Sun and heat will force any player’s stamina into oblivion. The only negative experience I’ve had, in the 20 matches I’ve played at this Club, is the music! It’s always TOO LOUD, and always very poor in selection. We all know music feeds the Soul, so please feed our Padel Soul, Virgin Active Padel Club - Gateway ❤️

Spacious, clean, welcoming and user-friendly. The courts are a bit pricey though at R450 per hour excluding rackets and balls. Tza lot of fun and good exercise
