Matjiesfontein

This charming living village in the heart of the Karoo was founded by a young immigrant Scot, James Logan, in 1884 as a refreshment stop for travellers making what was then an interminable journey from Cape Town into the interior on trains without dining cars. He created an "oasis", planted trees and a garden, built his own residence, Tweedside Lodge, and established the famous Hotel Milner which was completed in 1899, and shortly thereafter served as the Headquarters of the Cape Western Command. Matjiesfontein became a fashionable watering place, attracting those who could afford to seek relief for chest complaints in the clear, bright air, among them Olive Schreiner, who lived in her own cottage there for five years. The village was restored in the late 1960s and in 1979 Matjiesfontein was declared a National Heritage Site. Western Cape Museums in South Africa

Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in South Africa, is a museum-lovers delight. Many of its historical buildings surround the village green, better known as the Braak. One of these is the Burgerhuis, a private dwelling, built in 1797 by Antonie Fick, the grandson of a German immigrant. It is a fine example of Cape Dutch architecture, which experts have described as the most lyrical architectural style in the world. The South African artist, J H Pierneef, believed its gable to be one of the most beautiful in the Cape. It has been lovingly restored and furnished in the elegant fashion that recalls the lifestyles of well-to-do citizens of the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Kleinplasie Open Air Museum, a farm museum, showcases the wine culture and the characteristic architecture of the winelands. Visitors can experience life as the pioneers lived it in years gone by. The farm buzzes with activity all year round, according to the time or the season. Activities include baking, harvesting, candle-making, shearing, slaughtering and much more. There is a huge collection of farming artefacts. An added attraction is the steam train.
