Getting There
The guest house is a 25-minute drive from Cape Town International Airport. Transfers to and from the airport can be arranged on request, but if you prefer the transportation freedom of a hired car, take the N2 towards Cape Town. Keep to the right as the road forks after Groote Schuur Hospital. Take Strand Street and travel through the city, which will eventually become High Level. After about 5 kilometers, you will turn right into Fresnay and left again into Kloof. The Clarendon Fresnay is situated on the left-hand side at number 67.
