Accommodation in Paarl and Wellington lies
in the heart of the Boland with its award winning wine and brandy cellars.
Paarl nestles at the foot of remarkable Paarl Mountain - granite rocks that were called 'Tortoise Mountain' by the Khoisan. It is also a region popular for its Cape Fynbos Flora, unique to the Western Cape.
Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve is a good venue for viewing the fynbos plants from three major families - the Protea family (Proteaceae), the Cape Heaths or Ericas (Ericaceae) and the Cape reeds (Restionaceae).
Wellington is at the foot of the Hawequa Mountain, close to the Bain's Kloof Pass with its exquisite natural scenery. The pass dates back to 1853 and is the venue for the annual Bain's Kloof Ultra Marathon, and continues to amaze and inspire with its roadside wall of huge hand-carved stone blocks, built by the convicts and local labour of that time.
