Vanessa and Rolf Schumacher are your hosts on Oude Wellington. “We wine and dine and love company” best describes our way of life. We enjoy having guests, discuss the world and have the world discuss us. We like to travel ourselves and have met some very interesting people along the way, that having a guesthouse became the natural extension.

Vanessa’s background of working at 5 star hotels has of course helped to set up. We regard the guesthouse as the ideal combination of accommodation and personal attention.

There is always a glass of wine to welcome our guests and, if you like, learn more about the country and its people from the perspective of Vanessa, a truly South African woman or from Rolf, an immigrant from Germany. South Africa and its winelands are still fascinating to us and it is our chosen personal retreat.
