Quite an amazing collection of Automobiles, motorcycles, bikes and Auto related items. Beautifully displayed in four immaculately clean buildings on exceptional estate. wine samples available from vineyard on same property with wine sales, gifts, food items as well as available deli type sandwiches, drinks and snacks. This is quite an automotive museum with son historically significant vehicles.

Museum is located in a beautiful location with amazing mountains in the background. There are 4 big rooms with various cars, mostly vintage cars (Rolls Royce, VW, Aston Martin, Mercedes, etc.) and some modern sports cars as well (Porsche, Corvette, etc.). For R90 is definitely worth it, considering the cost of these cars. Much recommend if you're in the Cape Winelands.

A stunning collection of beautifully restored cars, motorcycles and all memorabelia in mint condition. A must to see. Please keep up the brilliant work and preserve for future generation. Well done with the current collection..

A must especially if you are a car guy. The museum is very well kept and has a huge variety of cars to view. A bonus is that the cars have an interesting read for those wanting to learn more about them. They also have a place to get food and beverages for those that would like as well as their famous wines. I would recommend taking a drive through the beautiful Franschhoek town and driving the pass towards Villiersdorp. The views are stunning!

I had an excellent experience visiting the complex. I entered through the Anthony Rupert Gate, where a tram picked me up and took me on a very pleasant ride through the gardens (about 20 minutes) on the way to the museum. The whole visit was enjoyable, and the ticket price was unbelievably affordable at only R90. Highly recommended!

You are welcomed by friendly security that will direct you to the museum parking. You then drive through a botanical-like road that is completely covered by trees, such a beautiful location. Tickets cost R90.00 p/p and a restaurant on site. They have awesome cars that all share big milestones in automotive history. Definitely a must see. The only reason for a 4 star and not 5 star - i feel like some vehicles become a bit repetitive. Ford and Alpha are the stars of the show - where I feel they should include more brands and their history. Toyota Supra MK4, Skylines history (these Japanese brands helped shape the automotive industry).
