Hennie Basson Very interesting and well kept houses. Friendly guides telling you the story of each house. Dressed very appropriately for that time period. Only downside is that especially seniors should pay R50 entrance to view. So bringing Sassa income group there becomes a few rands which could have helped spoiling them with maybe an ice-cream treat afterwards if it was only R10 or R20. Maybe a kindhearted person would assist to to afford the entrance fee. Will definitely visit again though.
C Neon 4 beautifully renovated Dutch style houses from the 18th century. The house has some of the same period furnishings that made the houses more time appropriate. Very nice experience.
Sue Worthington A fascinating look into colonial Stellenbosch, including insight into the slave trade. Four separate houses across different periods clustered around the historic streets, each beautifully maintained and with a guide on hand (in costume, even on the 32 degree day we visited!) to talk about the original residents, aspects of Stellenbosch history as well as design and A must visit. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Jonathan Collum This is a fantastic preservation of multiple eras of building across the history of the town from founding into the 19th century. As well as a history of the area from pre-colonial times. The buildings and gardens are carefully restored and cared for in an ongoing basis as well as presented by docents at every stop on the self guided tour. Definitely don't forget to bring some smaller currency to reward the hard work of their docents who dress to the period of their stop on the tour and are very welcome to any questions about the history. I really enjoyed my visit.
Don Perkal Very nice and sweet. A series of four refurbished homes from different eras. Each house with many pieces of old furniture and decorations. Many antique artifacts of life on display. History comes alive. Doesn't take long but worth it.
