The guest house is situated 36km from the Cape Agulhas Lighthouse off the Struisbaai / Elim road. The access road is a gravel road of approximately 26 kilometers and even though it is not necessary to have a 4x4, a high clearance vehicle is recommended, especially in the wet season (June to August). It is advisable to contact the park prior to booking to confirm road conditions. Travelling time from the reception office to the farmstead is approximately one hour.
