Statement of Significance
This is a complex and site of great heritage significance. The natural (and contrived and enhanced
cultural landscape) setting, the elongated and on axis (approach avenue and homestead) werf
layout and architecture, epitomises Cape Dutch farm complexes. The H-plan house on the raised
plinth that surrounds the building, outbuildings that line the werf and a fowl run near the house are
some of the features that have aesthetic, architectural, landscape and cultural significance.
