It also offers packed picnic baskets, which you can enjoy on the lawns overlooking a lake.

Other attractions for Kuils River property owners include several historic church buildings and the interesting background of the area, which dates all the way back to the 1600s, when it was a cattle fold of the Dutch East India Company.

Kuils River home owners can also enjoy their own cosy theatre, known as Die Hoenderhoek - or "The Chicken Coop" - because the building that houses it was indeed a chicken coop in the 1780s.
