A dream in Riebeek Kasteel

Who has been to this magic place? The beauty of the surrounds, the crispness of their wines, the many amazing flavours of their olives and the friendliness of the people.

All along the main road, there are many beautiful shops and to my left is the Royal Hotel. Their gin and tonics are divine- and big!

I turn right and head down Royal street to my parents home/ photo gallery.

They have called the gallery Pictorex after my late brother Rex, who tragically died in a car accident in 2003.

Pictorex, is a fine art photo gallery in Riebeek Kasteel. My dad, Willliam and my mom, Mary, take a range of the most beautiful pictures. They range from landscapes to birds, to birds, to bees, to flowers and even mice!

My mom has always got her camera on hand. Whether she is sitting relaxing on their patio which over looks the most beautiful church, or sitting at a family gathering. You can be sure her camera is nearby.

My dad enjoys taking breath-taking landscape photographs. While he is not taking pictures, he is printing them in his studio. Each picture is made sure to be perfect before printing. This can take hours!

My parents also run Pictorex Apartment. This is an Air bnb. They charge R1000 per night for the room. This has on en suite bathroom and walking distance to the town centre.
