Durbanville is a popular northern suburbs residential area of Cape Town with a country atmosphere, surrounded by canola fields and known for its excellent wine farms. Originally named Pampoenkraal (Pumpkin Corral), the settlement was later renamed D'Urban after the Cape governor, Sir Benjamin D'Urban. To avoid confusion with Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, the name was later changed to Durbanville.
Attractions include the Durbanville Rose Garden and Onze Molen, one of only two existing windmills in Cape Town. The Oude Meester art collection and ceramics by South African artists are displayed in Rust-en-Vrede, a beautiful Cape Dutch mansion dating back to 1850.
