More info about Joostenbergvlakte
Midway between Cape Town and the winelands region lies the semi-rural suburb of Joostenbergvlakte. Technically, Joostenbergvlakte falls under the Muldersvlei district of Stellenbosch, one of the Cape’s largest wine producing areas.
The history of Joostenbergvlakte dates back several centuries when a Swedish settler, Matthys Michaels, was granted the farmland in 1694. His original homestead was altered many times by later owners until a stone structure was built in Cape Dutch-style architecture in 1756. This house still stands, lovingly restored by the current occupants.
Apart from the original farm, Joostenbergvlakte consists of many smallholdings that are used for farming, agriculture and luxury wedding venues out in the country. The area is conveniently located alongside the main north-south highway, between 3 individual wine regions and overlooked by several mountain ranges.

About Guest Houses
For a more down to earth experience there are guest houses. Less expensive than hotels, they offer a more homey environment, as well as more privacy. Converted from a private house it’s a much gentler environment and for those with furry friends, there are also pet friendly options. They are usually well situated with shops and places of interest nearby. Being so small it offers a much more personal and intimate attention to it’s upkeep, leaving you with a more polished and homely experience.
