Dunns Castle Guesthouse - Accommodation in
Piketberg,
Western Cape, South Africa
Nestled
in the heart of the Swartland at the edge of the unique mountain range
that stands as an island lies Piketberg, home to Dunn’s Castle.
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.
