Baie dankie Danny vir die volledige beskrywing.
Ons is bly julle het n aangename tyd by ons gehad. Ja ons Restaurant is oneglukkig kortstondig gesluit, ons soek nuwe chef.....Ons sal verbeter en in toekoms die distillery kan wys. Wyn word nog net somige jare van ons enkele nog bestande blok Chardonnay gemaak. Die maak van wyn op so n klein plaas was net nie meer ekonomies vatbaar nie. Ons pot-stil Dr Schumacher brandewyn is daarom nog verder beskikbaar en saam met ons Gappa ook om te proe,.
Gedurende load shedding werk alle ligte maar nie die kragproppe nie. 3 van die kamers aan die hoofgebou is aan die generator gekoppel. Die self-sorg eenhede het emergency ligte en vir kos maak is gas beskikbaar. (Net die kothuisie het nie gas nie).
Ons hoop om julle weer te mag verwelkom.

Although our self-catering units are fully equipped there is always space for improvement. Please help to improve by pointing out what cooking equipment would enhance your stay.
We now have besides the torch and candles extra good emergency lighting in the self-catering units during load-shedding.

Dankie Erla dat jy die moeite gedoen het om n resensie te skryf.
Ons is bly julle het teen minste n deel van die ou wêreld se sjarme geniet. Dis altyd moeilik om niks van die te verloor wanneer opgraderings noodsaaklik word nie. Hierdie tyd van die jaar, waar uiteindelik die reen seisoen opgehou het, probeer ons om aandag te skenk aan verf van geboue en ekstra versorg van die groot tuin. Soms kom daar te veel werk bymekaaar, maar ons sal probeer om nog meer daarop te let dat alles netjies bly. Tydelik is die eienaar nie op die plaas en dan bly daar dalk iets agter wat tog nog meer aandag sou vereis het.
Dankie weereens dat julle by ons gebly het.

The location was good for our needs.
Although Margaret did her best to receive us warmly, the owner's wife was really inept and curt. Even refuse to make hard-boiled eggs instead. scrambled eggs because there are more than 10 guests. It's definitely not a 4-star guest house. Too few pillows and no soap in the bathroom. Duvet was lovely and warm. The place is badly neglected and needs a lot of attention. The garden/farm also looks bad. Parking and entrance are very sketchy. Restaurant was also not open in the evening over the long weekend.

Not impressed.
The rooms are clean and comfortable, but they are definitely not 5-star, even though they are advertised as such on Oude Wellington's own website. The breakfast is substandard and although there was a bottle of Oude Wellington's own MCC in an ice bucket displayed on the side table, with glasses and orange juice, we were later informed that the MCC was not included with breakfast and an extra R250 was therefore payable in advance. The placement of the bottle on the display table was misleading and moreover R250 is very expensive for a low quality MCC. It's a gamble and we were not impressed.

Oude Wellington Estate 's response
Dear guests,
Thank you for your review and the compliments on cleanliness and comfort.
You are right that we are not a 5-star guesthouse but 4 star graded by the South African Hospitality grading last inspected in May 2022 and as advertised.
Our champagne breakfast obviously does not include the warm display bottle of our MCC, besides Champagne would be a French product. If in doubt you could have just asked if you could order a bottle of MCC or wine for breakfast. Our wines in the rooms fridges have prices written on them.
But we are learning from our mistakes and will place a dummy bottle on display so no confusion is created.
Our breakfast includes eggs, bacon, mushrooms to order, 3 yogurts, 3 confiture, 5 choices of bread, 2 choices of muesli, cornflakes, at least 3 kinds of cheese, and cold cut meats. Bottomless coffee and tea, milk, and choices of juice, as well as fruit in season. Then of course the South African favorites Marmite, Nutella, and peanut butter.
Please do let us know if anything is missing and how we can improve on the breakfast. All breakfast items can be ordered of extra.
With kind regards,
Rolf

Ongelukkige einde aan 'n vakansie wat 'n hoogtepunt moes wees.

Unfortunate end to a holiday that should have been a highlight.
Old Wellington is nestled against the beautiful mountains of Wellington and quite safe to visit, unfortunately that's where the good news ends. As a family it was supposed to be a highlight after a fun tour of the West Coast that included stays at Yzerfontein and Club Mykonos. At more than R3000 per night, we should have stayed longer at any of the previous destinations. Parking was a problem due to a wedding being held there on the Friday night. The advertised restaurant was not available all weekend and we therefore had to drive to town for breakfast and dinner. The advertised distillery is no longer in working order and could not be visited. The Alpacas that are shown so beautifully in photos are just one white and one black one standing so far away in an unmaintained camp, so my kids showed no interest because they could barely see them. The unit itself was full of dust and basic kitchen necessities were not available. Air conditioning is advertised in some units and although it was not needed due to the weather we had, you would expect the most expensive unit on the farm to have air conditioning, which again was not the case. The pool was inaccessible on Friday and Saturday afternoon although it was cleaned on Saturday morning. The farm as a whole needs significant repairs and one gets the impression that the owners just don't have any interest in keeping it in good condition anymore, which is a great shame.

Goeie dag, Dewet. Ons is jammer dat julle die verblyf teleurstellend gevind het. Die Restaurant is ongelukkig 'n aparte besigheid, al is dit op ons Webtuiste geadverteer, ons het dus nie altyd inslae of hulle beskikbaar sal wees al dan nie.
Die eenheid waarin julle geslaap het is die duurste, omdat daar ses beddens in twee vertekke is. Daar is wel 'n waaier in die eenheid. Die swembad kon ons ongelukkig nie oopmaak op die tyd wat julle dit versoek het nie as gevolg van beurtkrag, omdat dit met n elektroniese bedekking werk, maar ons het ondertussen gereel dat 'n mens dit wel kan doen ten spyte van beurtkrag. Wat die stowwerigheid aanbetref ons het twee skoonmaak dames wat normaalweg wonderlike werk doen, maar mens kan nie altyd voorsiening maak vir wind, en reen nie. Vriendelike Groete, Span Oude Wellington

Lovely peaceful farm setting in a picturesque setting.
We were kindly welcomed and immediately felt at home. The unit was clean and tidy and had everything we needed, even a hairdryer. There is an information sheet in the room with a list of local restaurants which we found useful and also historical information about the farm and the animals which my children really enjoyed. There is lots of space, the children really enjoyed the farm feel with the animals, pool and pond. The feeling is predominantly one of "sit back and relax". The kitchen staff are very friendly and accommodating towards the children's dietary needs.

Would be great if the place was just clean.
It has the potential to be a great place but our room and the main house where breakfast is served were then covered in dust and cobwebs. It hasn't been cleaned in months - not the floors, furniture, thatched ceiling or under/behind the beds. It's a real shame, because the clean white linen, dressing gowns, nice breakfast, etc. disappeared in a proverbial cloud of dust.

The breakfast was delicious, especially the bacon! The on-site restaurant is quite expensive, but the food was like art and the portions were more than enough. For city lads, it was really a treat to find such delicious food here. Thanks for the wonderful time Oude Wellington!

We pondered through all the older reviews to follow up on promises and improvements and to get inspiration or what needs further attention.
We also found some reviews that never received any reply from us. Apologies for that. Dankie vir julle vriendelike woorde. Ons sien uit om julle weer hier te kan bederf. Ons sal ook weer vir die Chef julle lof oordra.
Kind regards, Margret and the team at Oude Wellington.

The place is very beautiful, but shows signs of deterioration. Hot water problems spoiled everything.
There was no hot water when we arrived and the next day the water was not hot enough to turn on the cold tap. Either the temperature is set too low, or the element is too small. Our neighbors who shared the geyser with us also complained. The heater's one wheel was broken. The waste container in the bathroom pedal is broken. The phone didn't work. The eggs were baked as hard as frisbees - not at all "easy over" as requested. The place may look like a 4 star, but it doesn't deserve it.

Awful.
The cottage was well located and clean, but there are only solar panels that provide hot water and on a cloudy day there was only cold water. If you showered in the evening, there was NO hot water in the mornings ─ so bad! Staff not professional either, although easily available on SMS.

We also hope you will be treated with more attention and thoughtfulness.

Absolutely fantastic!
It was truly a pleasure to arrive at Oude Wellington and be welcomed with open arms. I stayed in a single room which fully met my needs - it was comfortable, cool (despite the Boland October sun) and clean. Definitely a place I will visit again.

It was a particularly beautiful place for us; the homestead, the cozy suite where we slept, the food, the wine, the hospitality. It was definitely value for money.

My husband and I spent one lovely night here while he was participating in a mountain bike race in the area.
We immediately felt at home in the peaceful farm atmosphere and surrounded by the historic buildings. We were kindly received and quickly taken to our room, which we appreciated as my husband was very tired and dirty after hours on his mountain bike. The room offered everything we were looking for. The breakfast was delicious and was served by friendly staff.

Clean and comfortable.
The place case is very cute and clean. It is also safe and you can park near your room. The breakfast we got was also very nice. The only aspect that needs improvement is the communication between the management and the restaurant. We were hoping to do a wine and brandy tasting and the manager gave us the feeling that he didn't want to do that. He later confirmed that we could go to the restaurant who confirmed that the only person who could help with that was on leave.

Nice and quiet and relaxed.
Very nice farm with the right atmosphere for guests who want to get away from the busy city life. Close enough to explore the area. Although the restaurant's menu and food are very good, it is a shame that they do not provide light meals and guests have to drive back to town for them.

Romantic vacation with my best friend and lifelong love.
The farm is beautiful. The location is good, close to the airport and Cape Town. However, we were welcomed very quickly, and given very little information about the setting and other amenities. Wasn't aware of the restaurant on the farm either. The rooms are nice, but not extraordinary. The prices are affordable.

A good choice for a family group to stay over, good place to visit for family. Restaurant on site food is excellent.
Old Cape accommodation, exactly what the doctor recommended for our large group. We had people from Canada and England in our group and were handled comfortably. Advantage is the restaurant on site, we could just visit there and the food was excellent. Directly opposite Kleinevalleij wedding venue, we stayed for 6 days. Rooms cool, big and beautiful.

The ancient buildings and rooms' decor is stylishly done, unfortunately it was like a freezer when we walked in. Fortunately there is temperature regulation, but it took a few hours to become livable. Otherwise a pleasant stay and tasty breakfast.
