This handsome, if over-embellished Victorian house is Wyndover Manor, an Abbeyfield House. (Abbeyfield International is a charity that places elderly people in secure, comfortable and affordable homes.) Wyndover Manor in the upmarket suburb of Claremont, was restored and became the first Abbeyfield home in South Africa in 1987. It can accommodate 8 residents.
