Directions:

Take the N3 to 20kms north of Pietermaritzburg then turn on to the R617 which will take you through Boston and Bulwer ( please drive slowly due to bad potholes from Boston onwards) and then Underberg. There turn right to Himeville and 4 kms past the town you will turn left on to the Sani Pass road. We are situated 10.5kms down this road on the left hand side. NOTE: DO not take the Nottingham road as this is a bad gravel road without cellphone comms and it will take you much longer to reach us this way.
