![]() Subsequent to Govenor WA van der Stel naming this beautiful valley "Het Land van Waveren" in 1699, several farms were allocated to immigrants from Europe. In 1875 the railway line from Wellington to the farm Goedgevonden was completed and this piont was called Ceres Road Station. This was an important link between the Cape and Kimberley's diamond fields by means of stage coach.
Wolseley is situated 14 km from Tulbagh, 15 km from Ceres, 40 km from Worcester and 1½ hours drive from Cape Town. Blessed with ample water and surrounded by the majestic Waaihoek, Witsen and Waterval mountains which are covered in snow in winter, this picturesque village can be approached by 4 passes, namely the Nuwekloof, Bainskloof, Du Toitskloof and Michell's Pass.
