Directions to Forest Lodge from Cape Town International Airport
- Exit the airport and follow the N2 motorway towards Cape Town (well sign-posted).
- Swing left off the N2 onto the M3 South. The M3 off-ramp is the last before the N2 heads up a steep hill below Devil's Peak.
- Turn right at the first set of traffic lights onto the M63 (a.k.a. Rhodes Drive).
- Follow the M63 past Kirstenbosch Gardens, up a steep hill where you turn right (although still on the M63).
- Wind your way uphill through the forests to the roundabout at Constantia Neck, where you head straight across and downhill again into Hout Bay (still on the M63).
- After winding your way down, soon after a general straightening of the road, turn right into Disa River Rd, and cross a single-lane bridge spanning the Disa River.
- Turn left into Valley Rd. at a T-junction.
- Follow Valley Rd. to the second stop street at the 'World of Birds'. Turn right into Martingale Rd.
- Martingale rises steeply for a short distance, then swings left and becomes Victor's Kloof Rd. (follow the tar road).
- Take first right off Victor's Kloof Rd., signposted Stirrup Lane.
- Stirrup Lane crosses a dirt road, becomes dirt itself, then swings 90 degrees to the left and becomes tar again, heading steeply uphill.
- Forest Lodge is about 3rd on the right up this last steep tar section of Stirrup Lane (light-blue gates).
- Ring the intercom at the gate.
