A Scenic Place

Nestled in the picturesque Helderberg Foothills along the Stellenbosch wine route, Klein Welmoed is a stunning 39-hectare wine and olive estate. Established in 2005, this estate is renowned for its award-winning wines produced from the Foothills Vineyards.

Just 6 km from False Bay and with views of the Atlantic Ocean, these high-altitude vineyards benefit from refreshing sea breezes and gentle ocean mists. The southern-facing slopes feature well-drained sand, gravel, and granite clay soils, creating an ideal terroir that fosters a natural balance between vine vigor and yield.

Production of Limited Quality Wines

Klein Welmoed specializes in producing limited quantities of boutique wines, including their unique Straw Wine. Each wine tasting experience is by appointment only and includes a delightful cheese platter, expertly presented by our knowledgeable wine team after a leisurely stroll through the vineyards.

For a complete experience, consider staying at Klein Welmoed's cozy bed and breakfast rooms and cottages. Enjoy the warm hospitality of this working farm while savoring the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

This place is beautiful and has picturesque surroundings. When visiting I would recommend that you take a walk through the vineyards. The rooms are stunning and the staff are friendly. I would love to return. I also bought some of their delicious wine called 'foothills'.

Wonderfully located between the wine regions near Stellenbosch. The stay was beautiful and felt like a warm living room. The view was amazing. There is a lovely swimming pool. A delicious breakfast was served. An Uber can easily be ordered to drive to the vineyards in the area and taste all the wine yourself.

A Dream Come True — From Wedding Wine to Honeymoon Haven ⭐

We chose Klein Welmoed for our wedding wine and honeymoon destination, and we couldn't have made a better decision. No photo does justice to the beauty of this boutique farm, and the exceptional service from every staff member made us feel truly special from start to finish. Our wedding wine was perfectly packaged, easily delivered to Gauteng, beautifully presented, and matched our décor seamlessly, but it's the taste our guests still rave about to this day. Craig and his team went above and beyond to make every detail perfect. If you're looking for outstanding wine, stunning surroundings, and hospitality that comes straight from the heart, look no further than Klein Welmoed. We are forever grateful.

A beautiful guesthouse for young and old. The location is perfect. From here you can go to Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, the vineyards, the South Coast and many other attractions. You can also choose to spend a wonderfully quiet day in the guesthouse's garden and swimming pool. At Klein Welmoed the day always starts well with a delicious breakfast! In addition, they are very hospitable and friendly to everyone. Thank you very much!

We only spent one night at Klein Welmoed Luxury Guest House, but it was very pleasant. Quietly surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, the house wine was good, a 10-15 minute drive to some great wineries, a great breakfast, and a very pleasant setting. The room was a good size upstairs, but we also had a small bedroom downstairs with a slightly short bed.

Wow Klein Welmoed is a lovely place to stay especially overnight or for the weekend. The rooms are really comfortable and no expense has been spared; each room even has underfloor heating. Like many guest houses in the Winelands, Klein Welmoed is set on a acres of lush green grass with amazing views of the mountains and magnificent surrounding terrain. But, I rated them 5 stars because their service is top notch! The service team are so responsive to guests needs and are so pleasant to interact with. Karen and team, thank you and well done! Will be back for sure.
