Approached from Cape Town, the most pleasing route is as follows:
follow the N1 north in the direction of Paarl until you reach exit 47,
the R44. Turn left at this point and follow the R44 until you reach the
town of Wellington on your left. You will find yourself in Piet Retief
Street.
At a T-junction with traffic lights and a cemetery on your
right, turn right at the T-junction and follow this road (the R301)
south as it leaves town. Proceed for about 1 kilometre and turn left at
the sign for Diemersfontein Wine and Country Estate, which is the starting point of
the walk.
The
starting point is about a 1 hour drive from central Cape Town.
