Directions For Drivers

From the N2 (Cape Town International Airport/the Winelands/Hermanus/The Garden Route): Follow the N2 towards Cape Town. When you reach Cape Town, keep the mountain on your left and you will pass Groote Schuur Hospital on your right. Keep in the left-hand lane closest to the mountain. The N2 then splits into the Eastern Boulevard (right) and the M3/Philip Kgosana Drive (left). Take the M3/Philip Kgosana Drive exit and drive all the way down until you see an exit off to the left to Mill Street.

Take this exit, and you will see the Gardens Centre on your left. Go straight over one set of traffic lights, but don't follow the road round as it bends to the right - go straight instead up Mill Street. At the T-junction, turn left into Upper Orange Street and drive towards Table Mountain. Floreal House is on the right-hand side, on the corner of Upper Orange Street and Montrose Avenue.

From the N1: As you approach the city centre the harbour is on the right. You will then see the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) on your left-hand side (very large cream-coloured building), and there will be a set of traffic lights at a major junction. Go straight over these set of traffic lights. You are now going up Buitengracht Street (M62) towards the Table Mountain cableway.

Continue up this road. You will see a Caltex garage on the left at the traffic lights with a sign marked M3. Turn left here and continue down the hill past the Shell garage and 15 on Orange Hotel. After the next set of traffic lights you will see the entrance to the Mount Nelson Hotel (huge pillars) on your right. Immediately after this entrance turn right into Hof Street. Turn left at the traffic lights into Camp Street, and then right into Upper Orange Street, and drive towards Table Mountain. Follow the directions as above.
