This beautiful collection of Cape Georgian and Victorian buildings was saved from the wrecking ball in 1996. As well as a hotel and several cafes and restaurants, you'll also find a vine that has been growing in the courtyard since the 1770s, making it the oldest such plant in South Africa. It still produces grapes from which wine is made.
