The Big Red Barn is an antique hay barn which was salvaged and rebuilt on Sunlawns Estate, a 200 hectare just 15 minutes from Centurion. It is next to a 20-acre Eucalyptus forest, and looks out over an expansive vista of fields, grasslands and the Kaal River. It is the perfect urban escape, with 2,5,5,10 and 21km of scenic trails meandering through veld, farmlands, forest and beside the river.
