DirectionsFrom Cape Town, take any road signposted to the airport - this will become the N2 highway. Stay on the N2, past the airport, through Somerset West and over Sir Lowry’s Pass. You are now in the Overberg and on the first part of the Garden Route. Stay on the N2 until you arrive at Bot River and the signpost for Hermanus. Turn off and follow the R43. Shortly after Onrus, but before you enter the town of Hermanus, turn left at the traffic lights onto the R320 with the Hemel-en-Aarde Village on your left. Turn left again with Whale Haven Winery on your right. Turn immediately right and at the end of this short road you will find a set of gates leading into Glen Fruin Estate. Push number 14 on the intercom buzzer. Margaret Snyman will open the gate, turn left and then the next right down a steep hill. At the bottom of the hill turn left (into Olive Tree Lane) and the house is number 14, immediately on your right. | |
