RICARDO
MULDER LIBRARY |
The
Ricardo Mulder Community Library was officially opened on
23 October 1993. The library has 3 floors, adult's reading,
children's books and the reference section.
 This
library is one of the most beatiful libraries that I have
visited, it is spacious and the use of natural light creates
a wonderful relaxing atmosphere.

HORWOODS
FARM |
Horwoods
Farm is quite a popular picnic and braai spot for families
on the weekends, there are paved pathways for the children
to cycle around on and wide open spaces for playing cricket
or soccer. Parents can relax under the large shady trees while
their children cycle around the park or play nearby.
There
is place for children to roller blade away from the cyclists.
It is indeed a popular spot.
Not
only is Horwoods Farm popular picnic spot but it is also part
of the farm on which Edenvale was built. Read more in the
History section. The
old homestead, a National Monument, has once again been restored and is now a beautiful
and popular restaurant in Edenvale.

DE
MOLEN / THE WINDMILL |
The
first time you notice the windmill in Van Riebeeck Avenue,
Edenvale you can't help but be amazed. 'De Molen' is a 3/4
size copy of the Zeldenrust Molen in Holland.
De
Molen was built in 1996. It is built over 'De Bakkery' to
place emphasis on the fact there was a Dutch baker in Edenvale.
The buildings in the lane next to the windmill are also in
the Dutch style to carry through the whole Dutch theme.
There
is seating both inside and outside this lovely windmill. The
atmostphere inside is warm and cozy. |

MODDERFONTEIN |
Another
part of Edenvale's history is evident when you drive through
the streets of Modderfontein. Built
in 1896 as the Headquarters of the Dynamite Company, the historical
character and charm of this area makes it a worthwhile place
to pay a visit to. |

CHEESE
FOR AFRICA
& CAFE DI STEFANO |
This place is indeed one of Edenvale's hidden treasures. Not
only does Cheese for Africa sell the most fantastic cheeses,
but its exterior belies the fact that it has one the loveliest
little restaurants in Edenvale.
Delicious
breakfasts and lunches are served in the lovely glass enclosed
restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy yet not cramped.
You
just have to visit them today!
