Ashley & Antonio
Welcome to 1 Royal Street Guesthouse, a unique and charming boutique guesthouse nestled in the heart of Riebeek Kasteel, one of the oldest and most historic towns in South Africa. Located at the foot of the majestic Kasteelberg mountain in the stunning Swartland region, our guesthouse is housed in a beautifully restored old Victorian house. As you enter our guesthouse, you will be greeted by two concrete Dachshunds, which represent a part of our family history and love for animals. We have collected numerous art works and items from our travels, which are on display throughout the guesthouse. We hope that you will appreciate them as much as we have enjoyed collecting them. Our guesthouse was founded on the dream of creating an exceptional stay experience for our guests in this charming village. Ash & Antonio's love of art and wine in the idyllic Riebeek Valley has inspired the concept and design of our guesthouse. We are proud to offer our guests a convenient location, only a 30-second walk from the vibrant village centre. You can easily explore the local shops, cafes, and restaurants, or take a stroll through the picturesque streets of Riebeek Kasteel. At 1 Royal Street Guesthouse, we strive to provide a memorable and personalised experience for our guests.
