MAP TO HERMANUS FROM CAPE TOWN
N2, direction Somerset West
Stay on the N2, pass Somerset West.
Stay on the N2, pass Somerset West.
EITHER:
Go up Sir Lowry’s Pass, pass the turn offs to Elgin & Grabouw, and continue up the Houw Hoek Pass. On the top you will see a sign which says
“Welcome to the Overberg”
As you descend the other side you will get to a very sharp hairpin bend corner and immediately after that you will begin to see the signs for the turn off to Hermanus - R43.
You feed off to the left and cross the N2 on a flyover.
ALTERNATELY:
Turn off the N2 at the bottom of Sir Lowry’s Pass (on the Cape Town side of the mountain, before you begin the climb) towards Gordon’s Bay, and follow the scenic R44 around the coast past Rooiels, Pringle Bay, Betty’s Bay (stop at Stonet Point and see the Penguins!) and Kleinmond. This road ends at a T-Junction with the R43. Turn right towards Hermanus. This route takes about 20 minutes longer but is really beautiful.
24Kms later you arrive in the centre of Hermanus and will eventually get to a traffic light which will force you to turn left.
3,5Kms further you will reach a very big traffic circle.(roundabout)
Go ¾ of the way around the circle, and off to the left onto the road closest to the sea. Pass the Caltex Service Station and we are about 200 meters further on the right (the sea side) |
