Piketburg is about an hour’s drive from Cape Town and a half hour’s drive from the West Coast. It stands alone in the middle of undulating fields of wheat, green vineyards and flowering canola. Dunn’s Castle was built in the late 1890’s for George Dunn and designed by Sir Herbert Baker offering cozy rooms with Victorian finishes. Enjoy a refreshing drink on the patio and gaze out on the amazing view of the entire Swartland.
