Oaklands is a former stud farm located 8km outside of Wellington, It is the perfect place surrounded by the Groenberg mountains. A perfect location!
Oaklands farm nestles within an amphitheater of mountains. Oaklands is located at the upper catchment of the Kromme River that flows through the town of Wellington. It is flanked to the east by the Limietberg Mountains and to the west by the Groenberg, both of which form part of the Cape Floral Kingdom world heritage site. The farm boasts wonderful glorious fynbos and riverine vegetation, pristine streams and glorious mountain bike and walking trails. The views are inspiring, the sense of remoteness beguiling.
Farming activity is focused on contract stabling, fire wood supply, venue hire, holiday accommodation and long term accommodation hire. The farm is owned by the Waddilove family. The current focus is on stabilising the farm, renovating buildings and removing invasive alien vegetation.
