Luxury accommodation in the refreshingly rural Kuils River

Nestled at the foot of the Bottelary Mountains is Kuils River, a tranquil destination that has only just been "discovered" by those visiting and living in Cape Town. This small town allows residents to live a rural lifestyle while not having to let go of the modern comforts and amenities of nearby Cape Town, as it is only a 30 minute drive from the Mother City. The accommodation in Kuils River is upmarket yet still exudes a certain country charm. Kuils River began as a cattle fold of the Dutch East India Company in the antiquated 1600s and later became a staging post en route to Stellenbosch. The rustic quirkiness of the area can be seen in the original farms and small holdings which still stand today. Farming continues alongside the larger industries which sustain Kuils River - Coca Cola and Nampak are just two of the major manufacturers which operate out of the beautiful town. Cow crossings can still be found in the town, as a testimony to its agricultural setting. The residents are immensely proud of Zevenwacht Wine Estate, which lies at the edge of the Stellenbosch wine route. The accommodation in Kuilsriver offers visitors a variety of choice, ranging from intimate self-catering units to larger hotels, most of which are highly rated. Nearby attractions include the beautifully kept old church buildings as well as the ever popular Stellenbosch wine route. If you are looking for modern amenities and entertainment, the Zevenwacht Shopping Mall is the place for you! Kuils River is in close proximity to the N1, N2 and R300, but as none of these major roads run directly through the town, it has managed to avoid becoming commercialised.
