The hood around Kokos is relaxed, fun, real and exciting. Riebeek Kasteel offers a quaint village vibe just a short bike ride or stroll away from the house. Plenty of artisanal shops and curiosities, as well as restaurants, cafes and delis give you plenty of things to see and do close to home.
For those who want something a bit more off the beaten track, we can take you to the Paardeberg area to meet a great bunch of locals making fantastic wines!
