Stellenbosch: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Stellenbosch is a university town and the centre of the Winelands, and much of its gas goes to restaurants on Dorp Street and Church Street, wine estate kitchens, tasting rooms and function venues that cook on gas and keep terraces warm with patio heaters. Student digs and homes in Mostertsdrift and Die Boord cook on gas hobs and use heaters in winter, often in flats where the landlord sets the rules. LPG comes in by road on the R44 and R310 from depots near Cape Town, with dealers, refill stations and delivery in town. Ask landlords what is allowed inside, never use a patio heater or braai indoors, and shade cylinders in summer.
