Profile
Langkloof Roses Wellington is a boutique guest farm, rose farm, wedding venue, and wellness retreat nestled in the Slangrivier valley just 6 km outside the town of Wellington in the Cape Winelands — a property whose identity is rooted in a simple, abundant philosophy: “We have always believed in abundance. Nourishment.” With over 14,000 rose plants across 15.5 hectares including antique roses, cluster roses, fragrant big blooms, and a wide spectrum of colours, Langkloof Roses offers what few Winelands venues can: the experience of being completely surrounded by living, fragrant rose gardens in one of the world’s great wine and fruit farming valleys. The farm is 6 km from Wellington (and approximately 45 minutes from Cape Town), offering B&B accommodation for up to 18 guests across 6 family units and 13 double rooms, a characterful vintage-styled Tea Room with beams, light wood, and farm-baked fare, a chapel and outside chapel for ceremonies, a dam for fishing and rowing, hiking and cycling trails, an organic vegetable garden, and a growing programme of wellness retreats, workshops, and Permaculture learning activities.

The Roses: 14,000 Plants on 15.5 Hectares
The farm’s commercial rose growing operation is both the business foundation and the sensory identity of the entire Langkloof Roses experience. 14,000 rose plants across 15.5 hectares produce fragrant cut garden roses for sale, with the variety encompassing:
- Antique roses — heritage varieties with the deeply fragrant character that modern hybrid teas have largely lost
- Cluster roses — multi-bloom varieties that create the dense, colourful displays that characterise the farm’s visual landscape
- Fragrant big blooms — the classic long-stemmed rose in varieties chosen for scent as much as appearance
- Wide colour range — from the palest blush through to deep scarlet and burgundy
Guests can pick flowers in the rose garden — a participatory activity that makes Langkloof Roses genuinely different from the typical wine estate visit. The experience of choosing and cutting your own roses from rows stretching toward the mountains is one that reviewers describe as memorable and unhurried — a sensory encounter with abundance.
The Tea Room: Vintage Décor and Farm-Baked Fare
Langkloof Roses’ Tea Room is described as a “little hidden gem” — a vintage-styled space with old-school décor, light wood and visible beams, that provides one of the most charming café settings in the Wellington valley. The Go Wellington directory describes it precisely: “quaint and welcoming — the food is delicious and the coffee is good.”
The Tea Room menu spans:
- Fresh tea and scones with preserves — the classic farm tea experience
- Cheeses and preserves — local and farm-produced
- Harvest table lunches — seasonal, abundant, farm-to-table
- Cakes and bakes — homemade daily
- Cold drinks and ice tea for summer visits
The Tea Room operates Tuesday to Friday 09:00–17:00 and Saturday to Sunday 09:00–14:00 (closed Mondays), making it a practical destination for day visitors from Wellington, Paarl, Stellenbosch, and the broader Cape Winelands.
Weddings and Functions: Roses, Oak Trees, and a Chapel
Langkloof Roses accommodates weddings of 101 to 150 guests and positions itself specifically as a farm wedding destination for couples who want to be surrounded by fragrant rose gardens on their special day. The venue offers:
- Chapel — a dedicated indoor ceremony space
- Outside chapel — an outdoor ceremony setting within the farm’s natural environment
- Bridal suite — for the wedding party to prepare on-site
- Liquor licence — a fully licensed venue for the reception
- Weddings, functions, kitchen teas, baby showers/nappy braais, and celebrations of all types
The official venue description captures the philosophy behind the wedding offering: “Who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by blooming rose gardens on their wedding day? Our team is passionate about working alongside you to create a day that perfectly reflects you as a couple — we’re here to listen to every detail and dream you have for your special day.”

Wellness, Retreats, and Workshops
Langkloof Roses operates an increasingly active wellness and learning programme that distinguishes it from purely commercial event venues:
3-Day Healing Rose Retreat — rest and relaxation, fitness, focus on healthy body, mind and soul, and “decadent pampering” using the farm’s roses and natural environment.
Fragrant Rose Anointing — a time of reflection and connection for individuals or couples, using the farm’s flowers.
Mini Creative Activities — short participatory activities for day visitors exploring the farm.
Live Workshops — a series of healthy living and Permaculture workshops.
Permaculture Learning Centre — ongoing education in sustainable farming and land stewardship rooted in the farm’s organic practices.
Biblical Feasts — the venue describes itself as a “Kingdom Business” with “hearts for God, the people and health,” and celebrates the special feasts of the Biblical calendar as part of its community and event programme.
Women’s Retreats — the Facebook page regularly features “Vroue Wegbreek” (women’s retreat) content, reflecting an active retreat programme for women.
