Directions to Orchards

From Tulbagh

Once you are in Van der Stel STR (The Main Road) you will reach a 4 way stop, just past the Spar. Turn left and drive along the road until you see a farm called Montpellier on the left hand side of the road. Turn right onto the dirt road and after about 2km look out for the ORCHARDS and ODESSA FARM sign on your left hand side, and turn in there. Follow the signs to the residence to collect the keys (unless other arrangements have been made). If you have not given us an exact expected time of arrival, please call when you get to the Nuwe Kloof pass so we can make sure someone is on the farm when you arrive.
