Statement of Significance

This historic Cape Dutch house, with its elements of Karoo architecture, bears the date 1821 on its front gable. The farmhouse forms an important link with the history of the district and the front gable served as a prototype for other gables in the vicinity. _x000D_
The brandy still, which is situated close to the house, is an excellent example of its kind.
