History: The original grant of this farm, made in 1691, was to a Huguenot, Jean Gardé. From 1702 to 1902, however, the farm saw a succession of, different owners; with the result that it has close historical ties with families such as the Malans, Jordaans and Haupts. It is from the Haupt family that Cecil John Rhodes acquired the farm in 1902, since which time it has remained the property of Rhodes Fruit Farms. The extent of Gardé's house is marked today, in a building now used as a tap-room, by windows specially built to the original proportions. The manor-house dates back to the third quarter of the eighteenth century, when the farm belonged to Pieter and Magdalena Joubert, and has been preserved virtually intact, including most of the original interior woodwork. H-shaped and gabled, it overlooks a vast courtyard which is flanked by widely and symmetrically spaced outbuildings, among them a cellar with a gable dated 1837.Together with its outbuildings and its ring-wall, the dwelling-house forms a unique and important Cape-Dutch architectural complex.

Acquired by Jean Gardé who died childless, bought in 1751 by Pieter Joubert, whose widow is believed to have built the house. (Burman, J; Waters of the Western Cape)
