Which are the top Cape Dutch houses and gardens to see when you go sightseeing in Cape Town? Many of the homes are open to the public as part of the wine tasting experience offered on wine farms or as restaurants and museums. The bedrock of architects' inspiration in the region, the style is at once beautiful, congruent and harmonious with the environment.

1. GROOT CONSTANTIA The most well known Cape Dutch building and most accessible to tourists because of its proximity to the city, this magnificent manor home does not disappoint. It was home to one of the earliest governers in the Cape colony, and underwent extensive refurbishment after a fire. The gravel in the front of the house instead of a garden, provides visual rest and emphasises the stately grandeur of the architecture.

2. ZEVENWACHT Located in the Northeastern suburbs of Kuilsriver this is a magnificent example of the style displaying many of the classic characterstics. The thatch roof has been preserved and the farm house altered into a restaurant... a function which makes it accessible to the public and keeps the building in beautiful condition. There is only one flanking window on either side instead of the main gable instead of the usual two or three, which gives the house its charming proportions. See ARCHITECTCAPETO
