History: The land on which this house is situated originally formed part of the farm Coornhoop, which was granted to Thielman Hendricks in 1661. The subdivided piece of land was given to Francois Pieter de Necker in 1785. De Necker was presumably the builder of the Cape Dutch house, Westoe. Molenvliet dates from the 18th century and originally consisted of a barn and Jonkershuis which formed part of the Westoe building complex. When the property was converted for use as a house, the barn and Jonkershuis were joined, Georgian sliding sashes were placed along the front facade and a fine Georgian double door installed.
The property belongs to Molenvliet Investments (Pty) Ltd and was declared a national monument in August 1980.
