What an absolute disappointing experience! No signage from the main road, when we phoned and asked for direction they couldn’t direct us. It is in an absolute state, nothing works and the staff are useless. What once used to be a wonderful working farm is now just a dump. Do not waste your time or energy going here. This is a wonderful opportunity to create jobs and to showcase agriculture and farm life but everything has just been left and nothing has been looked after. If I can give it zero stars I would. It used to be what soetmelksvlei is at Babylonstoren. Dear Western Cape government please invest and fix this place up or just close it. I am utterly shocked and disappointed at this state of this, I had wonderful memories of visiting it, but today was just another example of our government not working and people being useless.

It is completely run down. The government can really spend some money here and bring it back to it's former glory! 😣 The history and artifacts are fabulous though. Real window into our heritage and culture.

A beautiful visit to see how life happened over a century ago. Sadly not as well kept as it could be, although it was explained that these were being fixed. Still one can fully grasp the history if the first Cape pioneers, see how tobacco was rolled, understand how water generated electricity and see various building and furniture styles. I can imagine that this museum in fully working order would be absolutely amazing. The highlight was learning to make candles from animal fat and group bookings can be made for school or adult trips for a variety of homesteading workshops and demonstrations. There are several animals running about and a donkey cart to take you in a ride. The museum has a cute little shop that sells handmade candles, gifts and the infamous witblits. The staff are increadibly friendly, the bathrooms clean and there is ample parking.
