Attractions


All attractions, including the Two Oceans, Cape Town, Wale watching and Table Mountain are just an hours drive away. Many locals commute daily to Cape Town, because of Wellington's safe and central situation in the Winelands.

Our very cosy country restaurant combines the culinary inspirations of our Dutch chef John Tecklenburg with classic European and Indonesian cuisine. Enjoy daily changing specials, soups and deserts. We are proud of being popular with the locals. Be seated under shady Oak trees or inside the distilling cellar with big barrels and cosy fireplaces not only in winter. A smoking section is available.

We manufacture handcrafted red / white wines, grappa and brandy. The entire production from growing grapes, hand-picking at harvest time to bottling and labelling all happens on the estate. We even print our labels on site and can create your own unique label as a very memorable souvenir. Wine tasting and cellar tours can be arranged when possible.
 

Special Features


On the farm you can play Petanque, a game of Billiard / Snooker, board games, boccia, or dip in the swimming pool, book a horseback riding or a wine tasting. Take out a book from our selection or watch a DVD. In season you can watch grapes turn into wine.

We also breed white Alpacas, one of the cuddliest, friendly animals you can imagine. If you are patient they will come to you for a hug when called. Our two naughty dogs Juliet and son Balu sleep and snore about 26 hours a day at the fireplace but will love to accompany you on a walk to the dam.
