There are several of these cottages in this picturesque village. They have been inhabited by fishermen and their families since about 1820 and are predominantly in the vernacular architectural style. Waenhuiskrans is the only existing fishing village of its kind in South Africa. (Richardson. 2001:67) Provincial Heritage Site. Books that reference Fishermen's Cottages Richardson, Deirdré. 2001.
