From the N7, about 5km prior to the N1, is a board " N1 City/Stad".
Proceed until ontop of the bridge, change to the left lane and do a
full circle down towards the N1 (move one lane to your right) and
proceed towards Cape Town. Soon after you will see a board "Cape
Town or Kaapstad 10km". Change to the left lane as you will be
turning off to your left following the board "Muizenberg M3". After
turning off, proceed to the top of the bridge, indicate that you
want to turn to your right, and immediately change one lane to your
right. You are now on the M5.
Follow the M5 for a short distance. Don't take the first turnoff
(left) towards the N2 or Airport. Proceed to the top of the bridge
and then immediately change one lane to your left and do a full
circle down towards the N2. Change one lane to your right going in
the direction of Cape Town, go over a bridge, underneath two bridges
(close together) and underneath another bridge. The road will split.
To your right is towards Cape Town. Turn to your left (Muizenberg
M3). This will put you onto De Waal Drive which becomes Rhodes
Drive. The University will be on your right, and Rhodes Memorial a
bit further on your right as well. Soon after, go over to the
righthand lane, and at your first set of traffic lights, turn right
(Board=Hout Bay/Kirstenbosch).
Drive past Kirstenbosch (on your right), and at the T-junction turn
right again. Go uphill (there is a pedestrian crossing at the top on
the turn - be careful!), and then downhill through all the turns,
past Cecilia Forest (on your right) until you get to the traffic
circle at Constantia Nek.
Go around the circle (avoid the first exit), and downhill towards
Hout Bay. Houtkapperspoort's entrance is about 300m down the road,
first entrance on your right.
As you enter the premises, please stop at the security boom and they
will direct you to the office during office hours, or to your
cottage if it is after office hours. Please note that the speed
limit is 10kmh on the property.
Directions from Airport
On exiting the airport grounds, follow the Cape Town signs. Drive
over the bridge and immediately turn right towards and onto the
freeway (N2) which will take you towards Cape Town.
Closer to Cape Town the road will start turning towards Table Mountain.
You will drive over a bridge (the M5). Make
sure you are in the left lane. You will drive underneath two bridges
that are close to each other, and when you pass underneath the third
bridge, the road will split. To the right is Cape Town. You need to
turn to the left (M3 Muizenberg turnoff). Now you will be on De Waal
Drive which will become Rhodes Drive. The University of Cape Town
will be on your right, the Rhodes Memorial a bit further on your
right as well. Soon after, go over to the right hand lane. At the
first set of traffic lights, turn to you your right (Hout Bay/Kirstenbosch
turnoff).
Drive past Kirstenbosch (on your right), and at the T-junction turn
right again. Go uphill (there is a pedestrian crossing at the top on
the turn – be careful), and then downhill through all the turns past
Cecelia Forest (on your right) until you get to the traffic circle
at Constantia Nek.
Go round the circle (avoid the first exit), and go downhill towards
Hout Bay. Houtkapperspoort is about 200m down the road, the first
entrance on your right (follow the wooden fence).
As you enter the premises, please stop at the security boom and they
will direct you to the office during office hours, or to your
cottage if it is after office hours. Please note that the speed
limit is 10kmh on the property.
