I would like to thank the entire team at Shaft Cruise Zone for an amazing experience last night. The service was exceptional from start to finish. A special thank you to the cleaning team for keeping everything spotless, the reception staff for their warm welcome, and the barman for the excellent service. The music was fantastic and created the perfect atmosphere. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I highly recommend Shaft Cruise Zone. Thank you to everyone who made the night so enjoyable!

So they swapped lockers for a shopping bag, 4 camera surveillance system. I'm sorry, one busy night ... one confused or disgruntled employee giving your bag to someone else. Disaster. Geez, Shaft you could adopt Rec Room in GAUTENGs model. Ie buy your own lock. That you take with you. Now I must trust, in a country of incompetence and ppl with nefarious ways ...that my stuff is safe under 4 cameras. I think not. But bye. Nice knowing ya. Good luck to the ppl who think it will work.

Had an Epic time at Shaft Cruise Zone last Sunday night. The vibe was pumping from the moment we arrived, with everyone clearly having a great time. The music was solid all night and kept the energy up. A big shout-out! to the barman, Alan , super friendly, on point, and really added to the experience. The Reception overall were welcoming and made the space feel comfortable and fun. Great drink prices, a good-looking crowd, and a lively atmosphere made it a standout night. Definitely a place I’d recommend and happily return. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
