The heart of the Cape Winelands. This was the second town to be founded in South Africa in 1685, and Governor Simon van der Stel found the area so much to his liking that he called it after himself. The long and attractive ‘Dorp Street’ has more architectural National Monuments than you can possibly appreciate in one stroll up along its fascinating pavement. The whitewashed terrace of Cape Dutch thatched cottages were badly damaged by fire three times before residents started building Georgian style double story houses notable for their symmetry followed by ornate Victorian homes with iron filigree balustrades and sloping corrugated roofs. The Oak lined streets are always busy as this is an important university town, where they only recently decided to lecture in English as well as Afrikaans.
