4 custom built barns housing a great collection, covering several styles and decades of autos. Very reasonable price, beautiful location, a good way to spend an hour or two - unless you are a car fanatic...

Great standard of cars, venue amazing. Worth the drive from Cape Town at least once a year, even if cars are not your passion. Model T, Ferrari, Bugatti, Jaguar, Mustang, Shelby they are all here and more. And it is rustig.

I find these private collections very interesting as the range of cars can be very diverse. This didn't disappoint! There is a cafe in the... More

Great collection and well-worth the money. The petrol/oil smell of old cars are wonderful and ever-present. The ribbon barriers are annoying when trying to take pictures.

This is a fantastic collection of classic cars from 1904 - 1999 all stored in 4 large air-conditioned garages in the midst of beautiful scenery. There is also a restaurant and cafe on the premises which we didn't try.

The museum is housed in 3 different buildings and the displays are rotated as there are more cars to display than the space allows. This makes every visit a new experience and is never boring. The immaculate displays are grouped from the earliest Model T's and Daimlers to Bugatti's and modern day Ferrari's and Porsche racing cars. There is something... More
