Driving
time from Johannesburg is about 4 hours, or
about 3 hours from Durban, mainly on the N3
freeway.
From the Johannesburg side:
Take the N5 from Harrismith toward the
Free State. Not far out of the town turn
left onto the R712, and after about 8km,
turn left again onto the R74. This route
will take you past the Sterkfontein Dam, and
down the scenic Oliviershoek Pass. Continue
to Bergville. Just beyond Bergville, on the
R74 to Winterton, turn right at the
Cathedral Peak Hotel sign. After about
16km turn right to Emmaus/Cathedral Peak.
It is approximately 31km to Cathedral
Peak Hotel.
From the Durban side:
On the N3, about 26km beyond the Estcourt
glide-off from the N3 freeway (and beyond
the turnoff to the Central Berg Resorts)
take the Bergville/Colenso off-ramp. Turn
left onto the R74 to Winterton/Bergville.
(Ignore the apparently shorter route from
Estcourt through Loskop - a section of this
road is currently rough gravel. Turn left
onto the R600 in Winterton, and turn right
after approximately 1km to Cathedral Peak.
After 11km there is a T-junction. Turn right
and almost immediately left to Emmaus/Cathedral
Peak. It is about 31km to Cathedral
Peak Hotel. |
