The history of Pinelands
Known as the first Garden City of Cape Town this area is mostly known for all the thatched roof houses that lines the streets but there are a few well kept secrets that you need to experience for yourself to truly appreciate this suburb. Centrally located, it is approximately 14 km from Cape Town CBD as well as Cape Town International Airport, this leafy suburb is easily accessible via the M16, N1 and N2 roads. During the Spanish Flu outbreak in 1918, 6000 people succumbed to the virus in the Cape. Due to how easily the virus spread in overcrowded areas it was decided that more towns needed to be developed. It was agreed that the Victorian farm, Uitvlugt, would be developed and laid out according the town planning structure of Sir Ebenezer Howard, thus resulting in the first Garden City of the Cape. In 1922 the first Thatch roof House was built at nr. 3 Mead Street. In 1983 the house, as well as Mead Street, was declared a national monument. It is now known as The Mead

The village hosts 42 businesses and employ about 200 full time employees. Enterprises range from craft, food, and equestrian.
