The stunningly beautiful Boland towns of Paarl and Wellington have become renowned as the ultimate holiday destination for families. Whether you’re planning a quick day visit, weekend stay or extended holiday breakaway, multi-generational groups are accommodated with varied activities and offerings to suit any age group. 

 

The spectacular scenic beauty of the area lends itself to exploring the outdoors. Special kids’ menus, dedicated play areas and exciting child-friendly tasting options contribute to the region’s appeal.

Garden tours at Babylonstoren will get kids excited about going green, while the goat ambassadors at Fairview are absolutely irresistible.  If getting active is your thing, visit Wine Valley Adventures or Paarl Adventure Trails at Spice Route and Rhebokskloof with special hiking routes, kiddies’ tracks, and bike hire. You can also opt for a nature drive at Bontebok Ridge Reserve. Get active with the family at Langkloof Roses, there are plenty of activities for the kids to do such as animal feeding, fishing, rowing, and treasure hunt.

Animal lovers have a variety of animal encounters to choose from. Le Bonheur Reptile Adventures and the petting farm at Alpaca Loom are must-do itinerary items. 

Add a touch of culture with a visit to the Afrikaans Language Monument and museum, the Salem Biblical Garden, Paarl Museum, and Wellington Museum.  Freedom Weekend Market and Laborie Estate will keep the whole family entertained, with live music, food, drinks, kids’ entertainment, and amazing vendors with niche products.
