Villiersdorp is situated just over an hours drive from Cape Town, 25 minutes from Caledon Casino and the picturesque town of Franschhoek.

Pieter Norbertus Graaff who married Anna de Villiers, daughter of P H De Villiers, whose family gave their name to our village, built Oude Huis in 1850. When Sir David de Villiers Graaff died the house was rented to the Nederduiste Geherformeerde church and served as a rectory until Hannie Botha, sister of Sir David, inherited the property where she lived till her death.

The historical home, Oude Radyn(c1844), is possibly the only building in the Cape to have Batavian wooden gutters and down pipes The descendants of the original owners still run the farm today, 135 years later.
