STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE_x000D_
The Daljosafat Cultural Landscape is signifincant because of its idyllic setting, rich history associated with living heritage and a distinctive cultural environment. It boats a distinct Cape Vernacular Architecture with an aesthetic landscape design, unique to South Africa. Further significant features of the site are that it remains untouched, unaltered and it is authentic in its rural simplicity. The site exudes qualities less evident in other landscapes of its kind and exhibits magnificent cultural treasures ranging from fine historic monuments, rich social and linguistic history, with significant farmscapes with a Cape Vernacular Architectural tradition, to routes of scenic value with unspoilt views of the iconic Hawekwas and Klein Drakenstein mountain ranges as a backdrop._x000D_
