CAPE DUTCH HOUSES


SIMONSBERG



At the foot of Simonsberg mountain, one is overcome by a glorious feeling as though one had stepped through the gates of heaven itself. The flat plains of wine farms backed by this magnificent creation fill one with hope and wonder. Enjoy the Simonsberg by taking a wine tasting route through these beautiful farms with historic Cape Dutch houses.


RUSTENBURG WINE FARM

The Rustenburg wine farm lies at the foot of Simonsberg Mountain. The group of farm houses and cellars are surrounded by a typical low “werf” wall. A well kept secret the gardens and house are always in a state of perfect tranquillity. Being a working wine farm, the winery is open for tours and wine sales.

ELSENBERG HOUSE WITH WALLED CANAL

Most notable is the beautiful walled canal that was famously photographed by Elliot in the 1900’s. The farm house and outbuildings now provide accommodation for the Stellenbosch agricultural college. The house is viewable by appointment.



LIEVLAND - CAPE DUTCH WINE FARM

Lievland is a hidden gem on the slopes of Simonsberg mountain. A duck pond in front of the farm house makes an idyllic setting. The gable is well proportioned though quite obscured by an ancient oak tree. The wine farm is open for wine tasting and sales.

BABYLONSTOREN

The original gable (1748) was completely removed during “Victorianization” in the late 1800’s but it was completely restored in 1931. The attractive gable was based upon the design of the historic slave bell. On the south side expansive organic gardening takes place, welcoming tourists to taste the wine and organic produce.
