Stellenbosch: the houses, the weather and the locksmiths
Thousands of students rent rooms in Stellenbosch, in digs, flats and shared houses in Die Boord, Mostertsdrift and the streets around the campus. That keeps landlords and letting agents busy with rekeying, lost keys and lockouts at the start and end of every year. The old centre, with whitewashed houses on Dorp Street and Church Street, has heavy wooden doors and historic locks that need a careful hand. Around the town, wine estates in Jonkershoek, Devon Valley and along the Helshoogte Pass ask for access control, safes and padlocks for cellars and stores.
