Nestling at the
foot of the Groenberg, the historic town of Wellington lies in a
picturesque valley on the banks of the Kromme River with the
majestic Hawequa Mountains standing guard on its eastern border.
Wellington, in the heart of the Boland and rich in cultural,
religious and educational history, is an unsurpassed area to
enjoy the Winelands and scenery of the Western Cape in South
Africa.
Wellington, quite accessible to Cape Town International Airport,
is conveniently central to many places of interest across all
points of the compass. There are five dramatic and scenic
mountain passes nearby. All the Cape's various wine and brandy
routes, not to mention the fruit routes, are an easy day trip.
Spring sees the grand displays of wild flowers of the Cape West
Coast, a pleasant few hours journey by car. The sophisticated
delights of Cape Town City, and the sunny golden beaches of the
Cape Peninsula as well as the whales of False Bay are within an
hour's reach. Historic Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Tulbagh and
Paarl are neighbouring towns, each full of attractions of their
own.
