The Old Woodmill is a sprawling industrial complex set against the dramatic Stellenbosch mountains, offering raw and atmospheric backdrops ideal for gritty, cinematic shoots. The site is made up of vast warehouses, weathered sheds, and derelict factory structures with exposed beams, rusted steelwork, and crumbling brick.

Expansive open yards with overgrown vegetation, cracked concrete floors, and remnants of old rail tracks provide a stark, post-industrial landscape. Interiors are cavernous and stripped-back, featuring high trussed roofs, peeling plaster, corrugated iron sheeting, and aged timber framing. Piles of rubble, abandoned machinery, and rusted silos further heighten the sense of decay and abandonment.

The mix of light and shadow in these large, open structures gives the space a moody, cinematic edge. With its weather-beaten textures and versatile, industrial bones, The Old Woodmill is perfectly suited for music videos, dystopian narratives, period industrial settings, and high-impact fashion editorials.
