Its well-preserved Victorian and Edwardian streetscape, surrounded by wheat farms, vineyards and fynbos, gives it a distinctive, unhurried character. The village draws visitors seeking an alternative to busier coastal towns, with Hermanus just 20 kilometres away. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eOur map includes the old town centre along the southern banks of the Klein River and the newer urban and agricultural developments further to the south.

Data for this map has been compiled from various up-to-date sources including from the OpenStreetMap contributors. The map is available in four styles and on the following two paper options and canvas: a high quality 210gsm heavyweight coated paper with a matte finish, which achieves excellent colour and resolution and is perfect for framing;  a 260gsm photo paper with a smooth satin finish;  and a 350gsm strengthened canvas. All of the options are shipped in a cardboard roll for protection. The canvas is unstretched and unframed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eWe welcome personalisation and customisation requests, such as highlighting of specific buildings or features, adjusting the colour scheme, or the addition of text and images.  Please contact us for a quote.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eStanford\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003e was established in the 1850s on land associated with Cape notable Robert Stanford, growing as a small service village for the surrounding farming community. Its layout follows the Klein River valley, with a simple grid of streets stepping back from the riverbank — a form shaped more by the land than by formal planning. Wool farming, wheat and later vineyards sustained the village, and its compact centre has changed remarkably little since the late nineteenth century.
