From Cape Town via N1
Take Exit 39, marked Klipheuwel/Stellenbosch/Malmesbury, and turn left onto the R302/4. 36 kms from this point turn right at the JOUBERTSKLOOF sign which also has our blue Fynbos sign. Travel approximately 3-4 kms along a dirt road towards the Paardeberg Mountain. Just past a dam and De Hoop farm on your right, turn right at the sign that says FYNBOS ESTATE. Continue along the road for just under 2 kms, at which point you enter our farm gate. Drive towards the farmhouse, with its red roof and blue trim.

Here you circle left and, keeping left, pass under the bridge and drive past the Bokomo silos on your right. At the traffic lights where Bokomo Rd meets Voortrekker Rd, you turn right onto the R302 to Klipheuwel and Stellenbosch. You immediately cross a small bridge and travel 7.8 kms until the Joubertskloof turn-off.

Leave the airport as if you were going to Cape Town. Just before the bridge which spans the N2, take the N2 turn-off left, to Somerset West. Travel some way until you see the R300 turn-off to the left. Follow the R300 for about 19 kms across the Cape Flats; the road veers left, and becomes the N1 to Paarl. Now look out for Exit 39, marked Klipheuwel/Stellenbosch/Malmesbury, and turn left onto the R302/4. 36 kms from this point turn right at the JOUBERTSKLOOF sign, and travel approximately 3-4 kms along a dirt road towards the Paardeberg Mountain.

meets Voortrekker road, at the traffic lights you
take the R302/ out of town. It is marked
