Sites

The site comprises an old farmstead consisting of a number of buildings. It is located at the formal entrance on the
northern end of the modern farmstead. The following structures from the site will be discussed in more detail below.
 Original Farmhouse
This building is a small rectangular structure located a short distance east of the main entrance gate to the
farmstead. The original component of the building would have been a small rectangular structure with a
hipped corrugated iron roof. Flat roofed additions to the original core appear to have been added later as
was a small veranda on the southern end of the building.
 Second Farmhouse
A rectangular face brick structure with a pitched corrugated iron roof is located here and has a covered
veranda extending along the entire southern facade of the building. This building is more recent than the
original farmhouse and may have been a second farmhouse erected on the farmstead.
 Rondavel
A circular stone rondavel with a pitched roof is located to the west of the main entrance gate to the
farmstead. The original part of the structure would have been the cylindrical stone base on top of which a
conical thatch roof was in all likelihood originally built. At present a pitched corrugated iron roof covers the
structure. Rondavels were often used on historic farmsteads as meat and milk rooms.
 Shed
A rectangular stone shed is located behind the rondavel. This shed may have been used as a wagon shed or
alternatively to house livestock or for the storage of agricultural equipment and material.
