We had a wonderful, approximately 2 hour experience at Winelands Light Railway......that was until the self-identified owner showed up and got involved in the train rides and rudely ordered my kids to get out of the wagon they occupied as they apparently entered from the wrong side and should have queued on the other side. This specific ride was not even full. After this specific ride left the station, I approached him and advised that, in my opinion, the rules should either be explained beforehand, or be clearly indicated on a sign at the "station". At this point he got even more rude and inter alia told me that he's the owner and built everything himself. My kids were traumatised after the rude treatment and therefore, although it's a nice setting and the train rides are very enjoyable, we won't be back. Therefore Mr owner, I would strongly advise you to rather put your energy into the behind the scenes operations, rather than getting involved with the customers.

I experienced utter racism at this place . After paying R130 for an unlimited train ride experience until 4pm . My child was told at 3pm there are no trains . I was told to my face that we should settle for the electric train as everything is closing up . After we left the same guy that just told us everything is closed started filling up the train with a certain race .

After seeing our fuming faces , he made a space for us and joked to his group of people “ come on guys this is the last now “ .

After us getting off , he started filling up the trains with this group of people when he just said everything is closed and that’s the last . The train went around at least 4 times after . We went to the ticket office where this lady which I assume is the park manager was just in “disbelief ” and couldn’t understand how trains are still running but she’s allowing it . Because of her guilty conscience she offered for my child to feed the animals .

Beautiful place...
