Surroundings

Wellington steeped in history and tradition, has a magical atmosphere that will captivate you once you discover the town, its people and its myriad of attractions.

Nestled at the foot of Groenberg, the town lies in a picturesque valley on the banks of the Kromme River with the majestic Hawequa mountains - silent sentinels on its eastern border. The town is under an hours drive from Cape Town and within easy reach of all other Boland towns.

After the establishment of the town in 1840, the name was changed from Val du Charron into Wellington in honour of the renowned soldier and conqueror of Napleon at the battle of Waterloo.
