An Experience

The Big Red Barn is the perfect place for the entire family to spend a day outdoors. From leisurely walks to adrenalin pumping MTB jumps, we have it all.


With its lovely forests and veld with various little creatures, you and your family can enjoy some fresh air and beautiful scenery. We also have two lovely restaurants to treat yourself to a delicious breakfast or lunch after your walk or ride.


Family orientated fun in nature, just outside the city, you couldn’t ask for more!

Who Are We?

Sunlawns has been in the Cullinan family for 3 generations and Dominic spent much of his youth riding the blue gum forests and the ancient limestone and clay quarries. He grew to intimately know and love the surrounds and the wild creatures inhabiting the veld and the riverine areas. So it was only natural that he should develop a passion for Mountain Biking riding as an adult and that he should put his mind to building tracks for other to enjoy as well.

Having a sense of excitement and always up for a dare, Dominic’s trails take the experienced cyclist through rock gardens, jump and flow lines and fast-flowing trails through the forests, offering a fun and “proper” ride.

But being a committed family man, he has also set about creating tracks the whole family could enjoy. Most of the 40km of trails wind easily through the forests and fields, with a number of escape routes providing shorter rides back to the start. The Kiddies track at The Big Red Barn and the 2km “Captain Kids” trail with rollers and bumps, are especially designed to introduce little ones to the thrill of the MTB experience. Mom and/or Dad are able to run or cycle beside them, to help.

Dominic further developed separate tracks (all pram-friendly) for runners or walkers tp enjoy, without having to worry about competing with cyclists. Our-pet friendly policy allows dog lovers to bring their furry friends on their outing.

With easy access to The Big Red Barn’s restaurant and other activities, the whole family can be assured of a fun day for all! 

Feel the rush of the trails

We have a variety of trails to choose from, ranging from kiddies routes to tracks that are designed for those who love the rush of adrenaline. With a wide variety of levels to choose from for both the running and cycling routes, the whole family can come enjoy a lovely day out on our trails.
