Getaway to Wellington

The Cape Winelands beckon with the perfect escapes for couples. Known for their stunning landscapes, decadent food and wine offerings and warm hospitality, it’s no wonder this is a favourite destination for weddings and honeymooners. But if you’re looking for a more remote getaway, removed from the more well-known towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, Wellington is where you’ll want to be.

This quaint town provides a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, with various owner and family run wine farms providing stays that combine luxury with a personal experience, a healthy dose of romance, and of course, plenty of relaxation. One of our favourites in the region? Val du Charron, a treasured member of Cape Country Route’s selection of charming properties.

Val du Charron is the epitome of elegance and charm, boasting luxurious accommodations, from opulent rooms to private cottages, each designed to offer the utmost comfort and privacy. Our top selection are the estate’s luxury suites. Just four of these rooms are tucked into their own private ‘wing’ known as the Coach House. They each offer a spacious bedroom, a bathroom that is almost as big as said-bedroom with a glorious jacuzzi-style tub, an indoor-outdoor style dining space with fireplace, and a private plunge pool with loungers overlooking the mountains.
