How to find us?

From Cape Town / Airport:

Once you leave the airport take a left turn at the sign that says SOMERSET WEST and stay on the N2 for approx. 18 min. You can see the huge Somerset Mall on your right hand side, now follow the curve (left side is the golf course, right side is a school).
At the FIRST big traffic light turn left into Victoria Road. Turn right at the next traffic light into Sergeant Street and continue until the T-junction. Turn right and follow the Lourens Street over a little bridge and than we are the fifth house on the left-hand side.

From the direction George:

Take the N2 in the direction Cape Town and drive over Sir Lowry’s Pass. Go on and pass the industrial area until at the end you can see the BMW dealer on the left hand side and the sports field of the Hottentots Holland High School on the right hand side. Turn right at the following traffic light into Victoria Road. Turn right at the next traffic light into Sergeant Street and continue until the T-junction. Turn right and follow the Lourens Street over a little bridge and than we are the fifth house on the left-hand side.

We recommend everybody who comes to South Africa for the first time and everybody who arrives after a very long journey, that we fetch you from the airport. The arrival times of the airlines are sometimes very early in the morning or late at night and it is more convenient to have the rental car delivered to the guest house. You can then start your first trip (maybe the first time driving on the left-hand side) peacefully and you do not have to look for the way to our establishment.

Please be adviced that in South Africa most street signage is not at eye level but
written down on the curb and sometimes not very visual
