I last visited the museum a long time ago. There has been a change in fashion. The ladies in the different house were helpful and knowledgeable and there were few visitors so we could ask lots of questions. Nothing was labelled as to its origin, paintings had nothing to say who they were of, what their connection was to the house etc. Yet there were accession numbers scattered around and clearly visible. I guess its the modern fashion to leave people to infer everything. Very disappointing

The tour through the various houses is eye-opening. The guides do a splendid job of painting a picture of life in those houses, while communicating the significance of each item on display. They really know their stuff!

These historic houses give a fascinating insight into the past through different periods of time. A custodian in the traditional dress of the time will give a brief history of the house & period. A very interesting tour.

A well-designed complex of museums that offer fascinating insights into the early years of Stellenbosch. Atmospheric and intriguing, the households offer a fine way to while away an hour or two in the dorp.

A little bit hidden. Took us a while to find it, but way worth it. Very knowledgeable staff and I cant say enough about the attention to detail in the houses and the quality of the exhibitions.

It gives one a look into what things were like back through the 1500 to 1800 years. The eras are quite wonderfully revealed through the furniture, clothing which the hostesses dress in as well as the accessories and the utensils used throughout the timeline.I have personally been here four times already.

Die dames wat daar werk straal nie net vriendelik uit nie, hulle ken ook die geskiedenis van die vier huise. Dit was verrasend om te sien dat hul ooreenkomstig die tydperk van elke huis aantrek. Baie dankie dat julle my welkom laat voel het.

Very interesting and time well spent. Different eras, different furniture, wall finishes, arrangements, space and comfort. The higher the income and stature, the more comfortable life became.
