Only an hour from Cape Town, Riebeek Kasteel sits snug against the slopes of its own mountain, the dramatic Kasteelberg. In the Riebeek Kasteel Valley, also famously known for its tasty Shiraz wines, you will find wheat lands, olive groves and plenty of wine farms. In the surround we also have the Cederberg, Cape Winelands and West Coast - all within an hour's drive.

Popular points of interest near Absolute Castillo include: * Jan Smuts Museum - Jan Smuts was one of the founding members of the United Nations. The rather quaint house is laid out as it would've been when he grew up there and there are photographs on the walls of his mother and other family members. The museum part holds the story of his life and makes for interesting reading if you are history-buff. * Allesverloren Wine Estate - Dr D F Malan, one of South Africa's Prime Ministers and great opponent of Jan Smuts, was born on the Allesverloren Farm. * De Oude Kerk Museum * Het Vlock Kasteel * Riebeek Cellars * Kloovenburg Cellars * Pulput Rock Cellars * The Royal Hotel * Cafe Felix Restaurant * La Parrilla Restaurant * Beans about Coffee on the Square * Short Street with shops galore * Pick n Pay
