Embracing a New Chapter: Our Journey from Westlake to Woodstock
A New Chapter in a Heritage Setting..
Woodstock is proudly a Heritage area, with its visual streetscape celebrated as a cherished cultural treasure. Among the celebrated landmarks, 415 Albert Road stands as a registered Heritage site, adorned with a rich tapestry of ownership transitions over the years. Most recently acclaimed as the Distillers Union, a haven for dedicated craft brewers and distillers, this historic site will now open its doors to a new era – the home of Cape Island. Here, we are dedicated to crafting an unparalleled fragrance experience, fusing tradition with innovation to create something truly exceptional!

A stone's throw away from the lively Biscuit Mill, we eagerly anticipate the pleasure of welcoming you into a space that embodies both the past and the future. Our relocation is scheduled for the 30th and 31st of August, and our skilled team is working to ensure a seamless transition and an uninterrupted production schedule and service.
Discovering Woodstock: A Glimpse into its Rich History
Nestled between the picturesque docks of Table Bay and the gentle slopes of Devil's Peak, Woodstock holds a storied past that has woven itself into the fabric of Cape Town's history. Originally known as Papendorp, the area's legacy was shaped by the establishment of three freehold farms – Zonnebloem, Leliebloem, and Roodebloem – on the slopes of Devil's Peak in 1692.
As time passed and the region flourished, Woodstock, as the area became known in 1867, emerged as a vibrant seaside suburb, with its cottages lining the shoreline and the beach stretching towards the iconic Castle of Good Hope. The echoes of its maritime history resonate through tales of tempestuous storms and captivating shipwrecks along the beach.
We deeply appreciate your ongoing patronage and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to introduce you to the captivating charm of Woodstock!
