Stellenbosch: climate, homes and floors
Stellenbosch is a university town with oak-lined streets, whitewashed Cape Dutch gables and heritage rules that shape what owners may change.

Student houses and rental flats mean landlords often want a durable, repairable surface. Wine estates around the town ask for floors that suit tasting rooms and cellar offices. Local fitters and sanders know heritage work, but good ones book up, so ask early.
