The Manor House at Weltevreden Estate
,
Stellenbosch
Description:
The Manor House at Weltevreden Estate is a quintessential example of Cape Dutch architecture, offering a grand yet welcoming backdrop for film and television. Its iconic whitewashed façade, ornate gable, shuttered sash windows, and traditional thatched roof create a strikingly elegant exterior, framed by sweeping lawns and mature oak trees.
Inside, the spaces combine period authenticity with modern comfort. High timber ceilings, thick plastered walls, and wooden shutters lend heritage character, while stylish contemporary furnishings and curated artworks add sophistication. Light-filled living rooms feature chandeliers, fireplaces, and polished wood floors, complemented by soft neutral décor and layered textures.
The bedrooms are spacious and serene, with tall windows, minimalist furniture, and heritage detailing. Bathrooms pair modern fittings with classic charm — including freestanding tubs, subway tiling, and chandeliers — blending luxury with timeless style. A wood-panelled study and library, complete with built-in shelves, a rolling ladder, and leather armchairs, provides a rich and cinematic setting for period or dramatic scenes.
