If you’re coming from Cape Town Airport we recommend taking the N2 route that goes via Baden Powell drive and Stellenbosch to Boschendal. If you’re coming from Kalk Bay then we recommend the M3, N1 route. If there’s traffic on the highway then google maps sometimes suggests diversions through smaller towns en-route. Ignore these diversions and stick on the highway. For ease we’ve included screenshots below of the recommended routes from Cape Town airport and Kalk Bay (given lots of people are staying there beforehand). If you’re flying into Cape Town and aren’t hiring a car then we recommend pre-booking a taxi transfer. Uber is fine for getting around Cape Town but they often won’t do longer trips out of town. Pre-booking is better than trying to get a taxi when you land - as you’ll probably guess, some of the people holding ‘Uber’ signs in the arrivals hall aren’t actually Uber drivers..

The full wedding party are all staying onsite, split between the Orchard Cottages (location 29 on the map) and the Retreat Cottages (location 31 on the map). Both sets of cottages have their own pool, boma, and restaurant. We have exclusive use of both sets of cottages so everyone in your accommodation area is part of the wedding. When you arrive at Boschendal main reception they will be able to check you in and help you get to your room. The Boschendal estate is large and so it’s often easiest to get around by car if you have one, there are also regular shuttles moving around the estate - you can request a pickup at reception.
