Location

Take N3 JHB/DBN . At Howick (Howick South) turn onto the R617 (local route no99) and follow that through to Bulwer till Underberg. Go past the Underberg Hotel on the left, .... about 3km out of town you will see a bridge over the Umzimkulu river. BEFORE THE BRIDGE turn right onto DRAKENSBERG GARDENS RESORTS road . Follow that for exactly 11km. At the 11km mark you will see a small green sign reading GOSCHEN. Turn onto the GOSCHEN servitude, keep left and follow the track till the electric fence. Pass through that and follow the road through the pines till the farmhouse. I would like to mention that the R617 passes through tribal trust land and often there is livestock in the road. Accordingly, one should drive with care.   Also, the last 2km are dirt and not suitable for low vehicles.
