Description

Wellington in the Western Cape Winelands is steeped in history and tradition. It has a magical atmosphere that will captivate you once you discover the town, its people and myriad of attractions. The first inhabitants of the Berg River Valley go as far back as the Stone Age. This period stretches over thousands of years to the San and Khoi groups of the 18th and 19th century. Artefacts from the early ages have been found around the Bainskloof Mountains and hills surrounding Wellington and can be viewed in the local museum. Originally known as Limiet Valley (border or frontier valley), the area became known as Val du Charron or Wagenmakersvallei (Valley of the Wagon maker) towards the end of the 17th century when the French Huguenots settled here. After the eventual establishment of the town in 1840, the name was changed to Wellington in honour of the Duke of Wellington, renowned soldier and conqueror of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. Nestling at the foot of the Groenberg, the town lies in a picturesque valley on the banks of the Kromme River with the majestic Hawequa Mountains – silent sentinels on the eastern border. The town is a mere 45 minutes (72 km) drive from Cape Town and is easy reach to Paarl, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and all of the other towns of the Cape Winelands. Apart from the fine cuisine and pleasant accommodation, visitors to the town can discover a magnificent legacy of historic buildings and architectural treasures. For lovers of the outdoors, Wellington offers fynbos rich hiking trails, horse riding and mountain biking as well as visits to some of the renowned wine cellars. Wellington also boasts with the largest Whisky Distillery on the African continent. Wellington’s residential properties located near the town centre are in high demand as holiday makers and village resident’s love being able to stroll up the tree lined streets to pavement cafés, restaurants and bistro’s.
