Kuils River

Despite its rural nature, this tranquil area at the foot of the Bottelary Mountains is considered a suburb of Cape Town and forms part of the Oostenberg.
Enjoy the peace here, where some of the original farms and smallholdings operate alongside the more industrial ventures, including major manufacturers such as Coca-Cola and Nampak.
Look out for the cow crossings that bear testimony to the suburb’s rural setting. But visitors need not settle for a glass of milk when thirsty, because Kuils River is also the gateway to the wine routes – the Zevenwacht Wine Estate at the edge of the Stellenbosch wine route lies just above Kuils River. Take a day trip from Kuils River to visit some of the 106 cellars that form part of the Stellenbosch wine route.
If you would rather stay put, have a look at Kuils River’s old church buildings and enjoy the palpable sense of community that is rarely felt in more urban areas.
Some of the nearby attractions include the Willowbridge Lifestyle Centre, Tygervalley Centre, N1 City, Sanlam Centre and GrandWest Casino and entertainment world, which has a wide range of bars and restaurants to choose from.

Walking in Cape Town
Many visitors want to explore nature on higher ground as soon as they arrive in Cape Town and with Lion’s Head and Table Mountain beckoning, many do get to experience the local flora and fauna on foot. However, the entire peninsula can be enjoyed by avid walkers. From Blouberg Beach, with its picture perfect views from its sandy shores, to the more adventurous guided Hoerikwaggo Trails along the spine of Table Mountain, visitors have an expanse of ground to cover.
St James
Just a little further on from Cape Town’s well-known Muizenberg beach (with its ubiquitous Victorian bathing boxes) is St James.
African Wildlife
Although Cape Town and the Western Cape are probably not the best places to experience a safari (Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal provinces are better known for that), it is possible to have an encounter with South Africa’s big game not far from the Mother City.
Llandudno and Sandy Bay
Only 18km from the Cape Town city centre, an arc of fine white sand gives away the secluded location of one of Cape Town’s most beautiful beaches, Llandudno.
Macassar Dunes Project
The Macassar Dunes Project is located on the Cape Town coast adjacent to Macassar and Khayelitsha and is bounded by the Eerste River, Baden Powell Drive and False Bay.
