From Johannesburg (N1) and Cape Town Airport (N2), continue past the entrance to the Waterfront along Buitengracht Street (M62), towards Table Mountain.

On the corner of Buitengracht and Buitensingel the road becomes New Church. Immediately on your right you will see a parking lot and a large brown building - that's us! Drive around the block and into our parking area. You can't miss it!!!
