Cape Cottage False Peninsula Rhodes Roof Thatched Tiled Whitewash Whitewashed Muizenberg
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1930, showcases the picturesque Rhodes Cottage nestled along the coast of Muizenberg in the Cape Peninsula, South Africa. Overlooking the tranquil waters of False Bay, this quaint, whitewashed building holds a rich historical significance. It was here that Cecil Rhodes, a prominent British businessman, politician, and colonial administrator, spent the final days of his life. Rhodes, who died of tuberculosis in 1902 at the young age of 49, had a profound impact on the political landscape of Southern Africa. The exterior of the cottage is a charming blend of thatched and tiled roofs, with a pretty stone wall enclosing the property. The whitewashed walls, reminiscent of the seaside villas of the era, add to the cottage's allure. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with the clear blue waters of the bay stretching out before the cottage, providing a serene contrast to the rugged cliffs and rocky shoreline. Today, Rhodes Cottage stands as a museum, preserving the history of this influential figure and offering visitors a glimpse into the past. The cottage's enduring charm and historical significance continue to draw tourists from around the world, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the beauty and rich history of the Cape Peninsula.
