Welbeloond ACCOMMODATION in Durbanville

About Us

Welbeloond is a boutique wine farm, perfectly located at the start of the Durbanville Hills Wine Route with 600 hectares of arable land for roaming. This renowned estate offers travellers comfortable, Cape Dutch style cottage accommodation for the ultimate country experience!

Situated a mere 30 minutes from Cape Town‘s city center, it’s the perfect weekend destination, steeped in history and the scenic beauty of the Durbanville Wine Valley.

In fact, the homestead on the farm dates as far back as 1785, when it was originally used as an outpost by Jan van Riebeeck. In 1918, the Mellish family took over the farm for wheat and dairy production, later planting the vines that are still yielding exceptional wines.

Today, it is still run by the Mellish family, who are dedicated to the task of preserving its history, while using modern methods to offer exceptional winemaking, and allowing visitors a memorable and affordable stay!

"We had our wedding on Saturday 2 October 2021 and it was absolutely amazing. Welbeloond Farm is one of the most beautiful venues and their cottages is very beautiful I had a blast staying at the cottage. Owners of Welbeloond Farm are amazing and always ready to assist."

"It is not often that a venue and its owners bend over backwards to accommodate one's every request to ensure that the wedding day runs smoothly. Add uncertainty because of Covid and various levels of lockdown and one has many more questions that needs answering. Our interaction with Charmaine started in Dec 2019 for the wedding to take place in July 2020. When lockdown came, we were refunded no questions asked. Now 13 months later we had our wedding and the level of assistance, service and friendliness from Charmaine and the owners of Welbeloond are unsurpassed. Thank you to you and your staff and we have no hesitation in recommending your venue as well as the cottages for any celebration. Thank you - John and Brenda Matthews and Lesle and Satoshi Yoshimoto."

"I had my wedding at Welbeloond last weekend and they really did everything they could to make my day special and stress-free. So many changes later, it happened. After a year of postponing, the time had finally arrived. The first thing that drew me to them was that you are not obligated to make use of any of their caterers, decor, or anything else. The place is a beautiful, well-lit blank canvas ready for you to customize. I have no doubt that their recommendations are top-notch, but we were able to use the venue as we pleased bringing in family and friends with big and small businesses. The biggest help was that the owner was more than happy to open up and show whoever needed a peek the weeks leading up to the big day. DJ, Photographer, Caterer all went on their own on separate occasions but the bride (me) didn't have to make many trips. We were allowed to use the venue starting the day before which is rare. We managed to fit in a run-through as well as other prep and could stay until Sunday. What's more, is that the cottages on the property are stunning. Perfect for sleeping and getting amazing shots on the day of. I cannot recommend this place enough... if ever there were a second wedding, I know where to go. Thank You!"
