Will definitely recommend. It was very peaceful and I love all the animals on site.

Sal vir seker aanbeveel. Dit was baie rustig en ek is mal oor alle diere op die plek.

Country living feels like I have stepped back in time. Loved it, the staff were all super friendly.

Hopelessly expensive to sleep in a milking parlor. No not at all, too expensive and no privacy, lots of dirty dust from the beams and bedding. Host also hopelessly too much in our party and the dogs and birds (parrots) were unbearable. Restaurant was great!

Hopeloos te duur om in 'n melkstal te slaap. Nee glad nie, te duur en geen privaatheid, baie vuil stof van die balke en beddegoed. Gasheer ook hopeloos te veel in ons geselskap en die honde en voëls (papegaaie) was ondraagbaar. Restaurant was puik!

Dear guest, Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, you only arrived in the late evening for a single night stay, thus did not experience the beauty of Oude Wellington's old (1795) original thatched farmhouse. In defence of my cleaning ladies' work, they thoroughly and diligently take specific attention to the faster dusting of our visible thatch roofs. They are both beautiful and natural, but cause more dusting and cleaning. Our ladies take pride in their work. We do have rooms with more standard ceilings for sensitive guests. I must have missed the line between answering your questions and offering advice that you felt uncomfortable. My apologies for that. I should have noticed the hurry you were in. But I am glad you enjoyed the restaurant and the birds being a big bird owner yourself. Please do return and enjoy a room further away from the aviary and insist on the standard ceiling room in the henhouse. With kind regards, Rolf (owner)

Worse than expected! The rooms are in dire need of renovation! Everything is very old; nothing has apparently ever been well maintained or upgraded. The area is good, but the rooms are poor and completely overpriced. We shall never stay there again!

Dear Mariette, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate all feedback from our guests, as it helps us continually improve. Regarding your comment that “everything is very old; nothing has apparently ever been well maintained or upgraded,” we would like to clarify that our bedding is always maintained to a high standard and is spotlessly clean. We take pride in the quality, design, and equipment of our rooms. We understand that tastes differ, and some guests may prefer a more modern style. The room you booked, Room 11, is our most popular self-catering room due to its value, though there are naturally differences compared to our four-star rooms. We would be delighted to welcome you again and offer a complimentary night, allowing you to experience more of what Oude Wellington has to offer.

A lot of character, but not for an evening stay. The accommodation was too far removed from a main road for it to be comfortably used as overnight for a function in Wellington. Further, there are a large number of parrots in cages, which started to yell at 06:00 on Sunday morning. Not our ideal if you book for a weekend away, and the noise level starts at that time.

Convenient, lovely to be on a farm. Perfect for the occasion, which was a family wedding nearby.
