This town is situated on the R311 about 75km NNE of Cape Town. Situated on the slopes of the Kasteelberg (Castle Mountain), a 946m high solitary rock of Table Mountain sandstone, sentinal amidst the rolling wheatfields and vineyards of the Swartland, the tranquil village of Riebeek-Kasteel is covered in the softest hues of pink and white during spring when the peach orchards are in bloom. Riebeek-Kasteel was named after Jan van Riebeeck and the Kasteelberg. The name Riebeek-Kasteel appears for the first time in the journal of the surgeon, Pieter van Meerhof, in 1661 while he was on a discovery expedition.
