Directions
As you leave the airport area you will come to a traffic light and a BP garage. Travel straight, remaining in the right hand lane. The road forks to the right before the bridge. This will feed you onto the N2 Highway, direction Cape Town. As you approach the city, take the Strand Street off ramp (left) and travel through the city on Strand Street, which will become High Level as it travels uphill away from the City. At the end of the road turn right into Avenue Fresnaye and second left into Kloof Road.
