7am arrival Cape Town

I note that my flight to Cape Town arrives at 7am. I presume that I'll not be outside of the airport before around 8:30.

Any tips on what to do with a wife and 12 yr old until we get access to our hotel room? (Hotel tips welcome)?

Are hotels in CT amenable to early arrivals?

If you're staying at one of the hotels by the Waterfront, then maybe drop the bags off at the hotel and kill some time wandering around the Waterfront - there's also some nice places for lunch there.
