Kuils Rivier, which translates to Kuils River but is most predominantly known by its Afrikaans name, is a small and pleasant town that is situated in the Western Cape Province of South Afirca, conveniently only a 25 minute drive from the exciting city centre and offering holiday guests a relaxing time away that can be truly memorable. The village of Kuils Rivier itself is made up of small old Cape Dutch style houses as well as more modern homes and attractions, like shopping facilities and lovely eateries. Lying on the beautiful slopes of the Bottelary Mountains and possessing a unique and rustic charm, self-catering vacations in this area of the Cape are enjoyed by groups of friends or the whole family.
Some of the most sought after wine routes lie just beyond Kuils Rivier, like those found in the Stellenbosch Valleys and those found a little further out, in areas like Franschhoek and Paarl. Kuils Rivier started out as a cattle fold of the Dutch East India Company in the early 16th century and still today the area is home to many farmers and a quiet community. As guests enjoy time in the tranquil Kuils Rivier area, rich in history and natural beauty, discoveries of old church buildings and picturesque streets of small town living can be enjoyed. The name Kuils Rivier is given due to the nearby Kuils river, which also offers many pools. Although the town is small and relaxing, excitement and an abundance of major tourist attractions are easily accessible from here and promises an amazing time to all.
