Bakenhof
Wellington area

I have found a very exclusive and luxurious 4* Guesthouse outside Wellington where we will spend our day today – Bakenhof Guesthouse!
 The natural surrounds and countryside provide an energizing environment where I know we will all come away feeling relaxed and invigorated!
On a recent visit Brian & I were warmly welcomed by the owner Heidi, who took time to show us around the venue, highlighting the very acceptable surroundings and facilities.
“Rix at the Creek” does the Catering – and in her words – her food is Tasty, Flavoursome, Fresh and creative but never over complicated. Country food with a dash of cuisine.

To give you a bit of background of the Estate:-
 The Estate comprises of 155 hectares, of which currently 80 hectare are planted to Table Grapes of 12 different cultivars. A Further 15 hectare vineyards are planted to white (Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc , Viognier) and red (Shiraz) cultivars.
The table grape vineyards range from 1 to approximately 25 years in age and are all watered with a computerized irrigation system. The total harvest for 2010 is expected to be +/- 1350 tons - 80% of the harvest has export quality and is exported to the UK, Netherlands, Germany and other markets in Europe.

On arrival at Bakenhof Heidi has suggested that we take a tractor ride (those who wish to do so) through their vineyards.  Otherwise you may just sit back and relax and take in the wonderful views from this Estate.
I am hoping that we will be able to buy some of their table grapes before we leave to come back to the city! (I will arrange this beforehand).
