The history of the guest house Welterusten is an intriguing one, one the not many people can say they would’ve thought is how this guest house came to be. Situated in the Strand, when in the year 169, a Corporal Muller of the Dutch East India Company set foot on the soft white sands of Milk Bay, the start to what is known today as the Strand. But it was in 1904, when Thomas Wade had the first wooden pavilion built on the beach, and in 1914 when the foundations for the two cottages were laid, is where Welterusten guest house garni is today. This beautiful guest house, with gleaming wooden floors, high ceilings and fireplace in the lounge, make for such a brilliant time away, you can’t resist the temptation as it creates that ideal homely, tranquil atmosphere that one looks for when wanting to escape the stresses of everyday life. There are quite a few choices of room types available, so you should really consider what would make you relax most – choose from single rooms with private bathrooms, twin bedded rooms en –suite, a loft cottage and more. Enjoy the sunny veranda, which overlooks a lovely fresh garden. This guesthouse is centrally situated, so anywhere that you desire to go is very much within reach. For entertainment it is practically impossible to get bored. With activities like touring the wine routes of the Helderberg, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl, or watching the Jackass penguins at Stoney Point – those are merely two options – you really won’t find it difficult to keep your days full of various activities.
