It is surrounded by the architectural splendour of the old Lower Long Street homesteads. The De Doornkraal Aan't Vette Wine Estate's vineyard stretches to the Vette River bordering the town. The historic main dwelling of the De Doornkraal Vinotel, is one of the original structures on the farm proclaimed in 1746.

Two cottages with lounges and patios supplement the normal accommodation. Guests experience total privacy since the hosts reside in the homestead of the De Doornkraal Aan't Vette Wine Estate.
