Stellenbosch: the building, the weather and the yards
Old Cape Dutch buildings and new university blocks share the streets of Stellenbosch, and building here leans towards careful face brick and plaster work. Kayamandi grows fast with backyard rooms and family houses in cement blocks, while Cloetesville and Idas Valley extend homes and boundary walls. Wine estates in the valleys build cellars and staff housing, and student flats and offices go up around Technopark and the town centre. The town follows the Winelands weather: wet, cold winters that soak curing bricks and hot summers that dry them too fast. Yards in Stellenbosch, Somerset West and the Paarl area supply most jobs, and heritage approval may be needed in the old town.
