Time to unwind: wellness in the village

A stay in Riebeek Kasteel is a chance to rest properly, and the village makes it easy.

The Wellness Centre at the Royal Hotel offers massages and pedicures a short walk from the house, and Hummingbird Wellness on Hoof Street offers Swedish and hot stone massage. Book ahead, especially at weekends.

Add a slow morning, a swim in the pool and an afternoon with a book, and you have a full wellness programme without leaving the village.

Goud, the main house at Huis Agt, has a freestanding bath, and a hot day by the pool is a treatment in itself.
