DIRECTIONS:
Take N2 from Port Elizabeth towards Cape Town. (distance of +- 75 km). After travelling for about 50 km, a view of sea and Jeffreys Bay will open up for a moment. Travelling down a longish incline, you will cross Gamtoos river. Shortly after, there will be a turn off marked Mondplaas / Jeffreysbaai (OOS), exit number 689. Please ignore this and continue on the N2 Highway, going slightly uphill, until the turn off marked Jeffreys Bay, exit number 676. This is about 14 km from exit 689.
Exit the highway and turn left on the stop sign. Follow the road, (St. Francis Rd). There will be fair amount of building activities and two new traffic circles. Enter Jeffreys Bay. Carry on through the stop street at Caltex garage. After a shopping centre (Pick & Pay), the road, on a downhill, will turn sharply to the right.
At the end of the curve, turn left into de Reyger St. Drive through the only robot (crossing de Gama Rd) and take first road to the left (Uys st.).
Follow the road for about 500 meters and Seester Strandhuis (17 Uys St.) is on your right hand side (sea side) just after a vacant stand.
