Exploring Both Sides of Van der Stel Street | Tulbagh, Western Cape, South Africa | 4K Walking Tour

Join me in Tulbagh, a serene village town in South Africa’s Cape Winelands, for a historical walking tour along one of its oldest and most layered streets -Van der Stel Street.

This immersive daytime walk traces both the western and eastern sides of the road, revealing Tulbagh’s rich past, quiet elegance, and vibrant daily life. From whitewashed Cape Dutch buildings to a humble Mission Slave Church, every step echoes with stories of power, pain, and resilience.

What You’ll See:
• Cape Dutch homes and Victorian cottages, restored after the 1969 earthquake
• A mix of heritage homes, guesthouses, and shops along the western side, where graded buildings preserve the town’s historic charm
• A gradual shift to bustling local activity near the Waveren Street intersection
• The evocative Old Mission (Slave) Church — interior visit included
• The eastern side, where old buildings reflect a more modest, lived-in character shaped by trade and mission legacy
• Framed views of the Witzenberg Mountains and the enduring beauty of a preserved Cape Winelands village
