Bridging the generational gaps with countryside bliss
When done right, there’s nothing better than a family holiday where everyone is in their element and enjoying the location to its fullest. And that’s actually one of main reasons why Kurland lends itself to a perfect family break – because there really is something for everyone to enjoy.
Enjoy the great outdoors
For the adventurous, early birds among you, get up for a morning walk; run or cycle on the estate, hit the tennis courts; and head down to Nature’s Valley and Storm’s River for long stretches of road cycling.
Or relish the luxury of sleeping inIf you’re slower to rise, or in charge of the little ones, explore the estate at your leisure and enjoy seeing the horses, sheep, pigs and chickens going about their day.
Jump in the pool, or dive straight into your bookThen, when everyone gathers back at the house, eagerly awaiting a hearty breakfast or farm-style lunch, cool off in the pool or kick back on a lounger to enjoy your book.
Throughout the dayWhether it’s games and puzzles in the playroom, a massage and sauna at the spa, or a bake-off with the kids in the Homestead’s ample kitchen, there are fun holiday activities all around for everyone to be part of.For an enjoyable outing in the surrounding area, consider a drive to Nature’s Valley lagoon, or visit any one of the wonderful animal attractions nearby: Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary, Lawnwood Snake Sanctuary, Jukani Wildlife Centre, Tenikwa Wildlife Awareness Centre or the beautiful Birds of Eden sanctuary.
And meet back up at mealtimes to share your storiesNo matter what’s on the agenda, or where you all go off to during the day, mealtimes at Kurland pull everyone together again. Let sundowners on the veranda flow into relaxed braais under the oak trees for summer days, home-made pizzas freshly baked in the onsite pizza oven, or hearty roasts and pastas in front of a roaring fireplace if there’s a winter chill.
It’s these moments together that you will treasure for years to come, and it’s these holidays that keep families coming back to Kurland year after year.
