This farm museum is one of South Africa’s best museums, and takes you from a Trekboer’s hut to a complete, functioning 18th-century farm complex. It’s a ‘live’ museum, meaning there are people wandering around in period clothes and rolling tobacco, milling wheat, spinning wool and so on.
At the museum shop you can sample and buy various flavours of toe-curling witblitz (white lightning), a traditional Boer spirit distilled from fruit. The adjoining restaurant offers traditional Cape Malay/Afrikaner dishes such as bobotie and chicken pie.
