Description
Complex of buildings, the T-shaped house built by De Villiers family (1821) and T-shaped cellar (1832), and possibly the staff ('slave') quarters behind the house. Vos (2004) believes the long stable building includes the original 'pioneer' house. There is also a werf wall, family burial ground and other features (Lucas 2004).

Statement of Significance
According to Hermansen (2016): Although the werf at Goede Hoop has been added to and altered
over its history, very little of the „layers‟ (apart from 1970‟s inappropriate interventions to the
homestead), have detracted from its rustic charm, and the werf retains its integrity as a heritage rich, modest working farm in the most beautiful rural setting, unaffected by 20th century
development.
