Oude Wellington

Description

In 1995 the present owner bought the farm, which was in a pitiful state and restored it to its former beauty. In the same year a small wine cellar was established that produced a fine red wine. Not much later, the brandy cellar was added. Piece by piece the derelict buildings came into use again. Restored and improved, re-thatched and rebuilt. Original gables were restored to their former historic character as part of Cape Dutch architecture.

Today the farm has guest accommodation in the original farmhouse and slave quarters. Air-conditioned and restored, with separate entrances and en-suite bathrooms, there is little left of the hardship the first settlers had to endure to make a living on this land.

The area of Wellington is the main producer of stockies (young wine nursing) for the entire wine industry. Dried fruit, leather products and spectacular landscape invite the visitor to stay and experience hospitality and nature. Several private cellars are proud to present their award-winning wines, which are among the best the Cape has to offer.
