Rudolph and Tina were the first to introduce the guestfarm concept in the Robertson Wine Valley when they started Weltevrede Guestfarm in 1991. At that stage there was only one cottage, equipped with the basic oil lamps and a gas cooker. Lately the farm boasts 7 cottages, a conference and wedding facility, a bistro and coffee shop and a privately owned winery.
To accommodate our guests during our hot and dry Karoo summers we have a swimming pool, a lapa (Boma) and for the more adventurous, there is the Breede River, which flows by on the border of our farm. The guest cottages at Weltevrede (the original homestead on this seventh generation family farm) are built on the edge of one of the dams on the farm. The river and dam are popular for fishing and birdwatching.
For the city dweller, Weltevrede is a haven of peace and tranquillity. Although our cottages are self-catering, with exception of the two en suite private rooms (Shiraz and Cabernet), all guests and day visitors can eat at our country Bistro. Please note that the Bistro is closed on Saturdays due to weddings / functions. The lapa (boma) near the swimming pool has all the necessary braai facilities, a fridge/freezer, a microwave and much more and is available for guests to use at leisure.
