After the Red Cross had used it as a storage depot for many years, the building was restored in 1993 and, once again, as in days gone by, town dwellers and visitors alike, gather to share in its warm and hospitable atmosphere. To stay over in Willington is to experience true hospitality. Apart from the caravan parks and hotels, a wide variety of accommodation is available from elegant guest houses to self-catering flats and intimate little farm cottages where personal attention ensures a memorable stay. A visit to Wellington's berry farm is an absolute must. Strawberries, Raspberries, Youngberries as well as Cape Gooseberries are grown here.
Visitors can enjoy guided tours as well as their own herry picking.
Delicious jams and herry vinegar can be purchased. Refreshments are also availahle. The fact that the majority of South Africa's vine cutting nurseries are found in the Wellington area, is due to the excellent soils and climate of the region. Of course the town is also the home of the Wellington Wine Route and the seven wineries are all open for wine-tasting and sales. Wellington also has a few hiking trails and scenic drives to be enjoyed.
