FullStatementOfSignificance:
The farm Oostewal, which borders on the Langebaan Lagoon, with its springs of fresh water was a favourite port of call of ships and vessels from all over the world during the 17th and 18th centuries as this was the only source of fresh water in the area. The dwelling-house and the adjacent outbuildings, which date from the 18th century, served as Colonial Residency for the Saldanha Bay area from 1821 to 1849. The homestead, which has since been subdivided, was restored in 1960 and named Oesterwal.
