"If we imagine ourselves coming from Cape Town then, the first estate which

 

we shall pass on our right, stretching up the slopes of the Mountain, is

 

Welgelegen. In its 18th century heyday this must have been one of the

 

largest farms in the district, its north-eastern corner being near the

 

junction of Durham Avenue with the Main Road at Observatory. Its southern

 

boundary cuts through the present University ground above Lover's Walk at

 

the corner of Woolsack Road. Westward it ran almost up to the King's Block

 

House. Originally Van Reenen property - it was granted to Gysbert van Reenen

 

in 1803 - it passed to the Mosterts in the 1830's. About 1895, Rhodes bought

 

it for his friend John Blades Currey who had been so good to him in his

 

Kimberley days, and it subsequently became part of the Groote Schuur Estate.

 

The old homestead was replaced by a Baker house long since, but the

 

windmill, known as Mostert's Mill, built (by Gysbert) in the late 18th century, is now a

 

national monument."
