Travel by car (from Cape Town via the N2)

• From Cape Town or Cape Town International Airport (CPT), take the N2 in the direction of Stellenbosch / Somerset West.
• Continue on the N2 until exit 33 (Baden Powell Drive turn off). Turn left towards Stellenbosch and continue on the R310 until the T-junction. Pass the Spier Estate on your right hand side and carry on towards Stellenbosch. At the traffic lights, drive straight through until you get to the next set of traffic lights at the T-junction.
• At the T-junction with traffic lights, turn right. After approximately 2.5 kms, you will pass straight through a set of traffic lights with the headquarters of Distell on the right.
• Stay on Adam Tas Road, turning left at the T-junction as it joins the R44.
• At the second set of traffic lights, turn right on to Merriman Avenue.
• Drive up Merriman for approximately 500m. The entrance to the Neelsie Centre parking will be on your right (shortly after an overead pedestrial pass) on De Beer Road.

Safety

Although Stellenbosch has always been a quiet and relatively safe town, it is not entirely free of crime. It may therefore be a good idea to take normal safety precautions at night time, such as travelling in groups and avoiding dark alleys.

Travel in the Western Cape is usually safe, but it may be a good idea to discuss any travel plans with one of the organisers. As a general rule public transport is not recommended. If you plan to do sightseeing, renting a car at the airport is a good option (book at the same time as buying your plane ticket; there are often good package deals.) Alternatively there are several rental agencies who operate in Stellenbosch.
