At the southernmost end of Government Avenue, you'll come upon Bertram House, whose beautiful two-storey brick facade looks out across a fragrant herb garden.

Built in the 1840s, the museum is significant as the only surviving brick Georgian-style house in Cape Town, and displays typical furniture and objects of a well-to-do colonial British family in the first half of the nineteenth century.

Bertram House was extensively restored to its current state in the 1980s - and again in 2010 - : imported face brick and Welsh slate were used to re-create the original facade, while the interior walls were redecorated in their earlier dark green and ochre, based on the evidence of paint scrapings.

The reception rooms are decorated in the Regency style, while the porcelain is predominantly nineteenth-century English.
