Wheatlands Country Home

Theres no longer any wheat at Wheatlands but there is loads of nourishing sunlight and space. Ample rooms, high ceilings, stained glass and substantial furniture hark back to a more opulent era. Back to 1912, in fact, when farmer Arthur Shorts great-grandparents hired an architect from Oudtshoorn and built themselves a grand home. It was the height of the ostrich feather boom and mansions reflected personal fortunes.
