“Of all Cape Dutch architectural farms in the Cape, most of them with their own centre and end gables, it is Spier that boasts the greatest number of them: 21 in total, all beautifully preserved. These 21 gables represent half a century in time and virtually the entire range of styles of that period.”
—Architectural historian Dr Hans Fransen (Ph.D. Natal, D.Phil. h.c. Stell.)
