Early travellers would not have had an easy time of attempts to negotiate the Hottentot's Holland Mountain range, which stretches along the eastern side of Somerset West and Gordons Bay.

From the N2:
Driving on the N2, turn off at Sir Lowry's Pass Village/Gordons bay traffic lights at the foot of the Pass: from Cape Town, it's 5km after Somerset West on the left, and from George, just at the bottom of the pass on the right.
Follow that road through the village and go over the railway tracks. Immediately turn right. Take the first left (after 200m) onto a brick road. The sign on the corner says 'Wedderwill' & 'Lalapanzi Lodge'.
After approx 1 km along this brick road, take the left road just before Knorhoek Estate. Pass a pond on your left and go through the Wedderwill gate house. Follow the brick road up the hill for 1.2km and turn left into Lalapanzi Lodge (Farm 3) which is oddly enough after Farm 1, 2 and 4.
From Somerset West:
Drive east along Main Road heading towards Sir Lowry's Pass. Drive all the way through Somerset West and past the robots and circles (traffic lights and roundabouts if you're not South African). Past the ABSA bank on your left and the Pick 'N' Pay on your right.
Continue on Main Road and at the robot/traffic light by Vergelegen Medi Clinic keep going straight onto the M9  Sir Lowry's Pass Road.
Continue on the road to Sir Lowry's Pass Village (about 5km). Pass U-Save on your left. Go through the village and 200m after the U-Save take the first left onto a red brick road. The sign on the corner says 'Wedderwill' (and ' Lalapanzi Lodge') and there's a building behind that called 'Builders Ministery'.
After approx 1 km along this brick road, take the left road just before Knorhoek Estate. Pass a pond on your left and go through the Wedderwill gate house. Follow the brick road up the hill for 1.2km and turn left into Lalapanzi Lodge (Farm 3) which is oddly enough after Farm 1, 2 and 4.
