Things to do nearby

There is so much on offer within an hour of Bakkies Guesthouse and Conference Centre as we are ideally situated halfway between the bright lights of Cape Town and the statuesque mountains of the Western Cape in the hidden valley of Wellington.

The Berg River flows along the western border with two smaller streams, the Spruit and Kromme and the mighty Hawequas stands guard on the eastern side.

The Bainskloof Pass, built by the Scottish born Andrew Geddes Bain, was the only gateway to the north. More French nationals settled here than anywhere else in the Cape and the valley was initially called Val du Charron - valley of the wagon-makers. Val du Charron was the last outpost before travellers, pioneers and adventureres attempted the arduous journey into the hinterland with their oxen and their wagons.
