Castle Kyalami

The original castle consisted of the main house, three self-contained apartments, garages, yacht workshop and horse stables, stretching over several acres.

Room 11 was originally built for Dinopoulos' son, with a private entrance and a spiral staircase to the kitchen, because, in his father's words, "boys get hungry at night".

The original sauna and jacuzzi in a turret have remained, alongside a swimming pool and clay tennis court.

Dinopoulos actually completed his yacht in the workshop, and sailed to the south of Spain, where he remains still, because his children grew up and left home.

In the guidebook Lonely Planet: South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland, Fitzpatrick et al. describe the "mock castle" as "one of Jo'burg's true oddities".

"[5] The castle was the site of the "Ika East Meets Africa" fashion show on 13 August 2003,[7] and has been used in the past for business conferences.
