Driving Directions
You can take Route 1 or Route 2, it makes little difference timewise. We prefer to take Route 1, but that is purely preference; both routes are equally straightforward.
After following directions along whichever of these routes you choose to take, follow directions from Dasklip Pass to Pampoen Fontein Farm.
Route 1
• Take the N1 from Cape Town until you reach the R44 Stellenbosch/Klapmuts R101 Wellington turnoff.
• Turn left onto the R44 toward Wellington.
• Just before reaching Wellington, turn left onto the R44 toward Hermon/Ceres.
• After 42 km, turn left again onto the R44 toward Gouda/Porterville.
• Drive straight through Porterville and continue straight for about 3 km until you see the Cardow/Dasklip Pass sign.
Route 2
• Take the N7 from Cape Town to Piketburg.
• 200m after the turnoff to Piketburg, turn right off the N7 onto the R44 to Porterville.
• You are now on a tar road. Continue along this road for 25 km to a T-junction.
• At the T-junction, turn left (right takes you into Porterville).
• After 3 km, you will see a sign to Cardow/Dasklip Pass.
Dasklip Pass to Pampoen Fontein Farm:
• Turn right at the sign onto a dirt road.
• Continue along this dirt road for 9.6 km until you see signs to Groot Winterhoek Nature Reserve & Dasklip Pass.
• At the fork in the road, keep right, heading up the mountain on a tar road.
• The road up Dasklip is steep and winding, so take it easy!
• After 7 km, you will reach the top of Dasklip Pass.
• Ignore the sign to Beaverlac and drive straight on (still on dirt) for another 4 km.
• The road will do a dogleg to the left, and you will start to see the cottage name signs.
• Proceed to the cottage you have booked.
