| GETTING
TO BISHOP'S COVE LODGE |
|
Bishop's
Cove Lodge is sited on a coastal smallholding in a rural setting,
making it extremely private and tranquil with no other buildings
visible from the Lodge. Such exclusivity requires going off the
beaten track, with some gravel roads, farm roads and at least two
farm gates to open and close. But when you reach your destination
you will appreciate the reward.
It is recommended that visitors to Bishop's Cove Lodge print the
map with directions before
their departure.
There is a private airstrip 500m from Bishop's Cove but please note
that neither the shareholders of Bishop's Cove nor the owner of
the airstrip accept responsibility for the use thereof. Any person
wishing to fly in should print out the indemnity
form and fax it Bishop's Cove (fax number: 086 515 6854). If
no such completed form is received, Bishop's Cove will regard the
document as being read, fully understood and agreed to, and that
our terms and conditions of usage as per the indemnity form will
apply, and that the pilot is in agreement.

Directions:
Exit the N2 at the Kareedouw/Eersterivier Exit 611 off-ramp
(about 150kms
from Port Elizabeth and 95kms from Plett) and drive towards
the coast for
about 500m.
At the R102 T-junction turn left.
With OUDEBOSCH FARMSTALL on your right, drive 3kms along
the R102 and then turn right onto the gravel road to Klipdrif.
After 5,8kms turn off to the right (the farmhouse “Arbeidsgenot”
will be on the left and there is a concrete water reservoir
just after the turn with the name “Hillview”
on it).
After 3,3 km and just before the road turns sharply to the
right, turn sharp left onto a farm road, opposite 10 red
and green labourers’ cottages.
Follow this farm road for just over 1km past an old house
and shed on the left and then between two farm dams.
After the dams, continue past a turn to the right and past
the tail part of an old aeroplane.
The road then turns 90 degrees to the right between two
fences. Once past the gate at the end of this road, turn
left and follow the grass road. You are now travelling parallel
to a grass runway.
Cross
the second runway and where the first runway ends turn right
and enter the Bishops Cove gate.
You will see a white garage with a green roof in the distance.
Please keep a look out for aeroplanes landing or taking
off.
