Discover scenic trails, w**e cellars, distilleries, farmstalls, markets, and warm hospitality. ✨Contact us to discover everything Wolseley. 📧 [email protected] Wolseley is situated on a natural watershed that divides the Berg River (renowned for the annual Berg River Marathon) and the Breede River (one of the largest navigable rivers in South Africa). The town is surrounded by the Waaihoe
k mountains, Witzen mountains and Waterfall mountains and is unique in that it can be accessed via any one of four splendid passes: Du Toitskloof Pass, Bainskloof Pass, Nuwekloof Pass and Michells Pass. The natural surroundings are conducive to outdoor activities such as river rowing, hiking along waterfalls, walking, sunset drives, game-viewing, bird-watching, mountain biking, bush walks and 4x4 trails. The Kluitjieskraal MTB Route, just west of Wolseley, is renowned for its spectacular scenery and challenging hills, some of which climb as high as 400m above sea level - descent is rocky with narrow jeep/single-tracks. It is a water-rich route that passes through the MTO Forestry Reserve and traverses the Waterfall mountain twice. The 46km trail is scenically splendid and quite tough, while the 15km trail is more of a family-friendly fun ride. Tour the fertile Breede River Valley with its fruit farms, orchards and vineyards or visit the furniture factory and fruit-packing factory. The Anglo-Boer War Blockhouse dates back to 1901 and is open to visitors, by appointment only.
