Wellington Guest Farm | Wellington Guest Farm, Wellington 7655, Western Cape

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.
