Wakkerstroom Farm Lodge is situated an easy three hour drive from Johannesburg or Pretoria, or about four hours from Durban. We are just off the R 543 between Volksrust and Wakkerstroom, just before Wakkerstroom.
Coming from JHB/ Pretoria:
The easiest route to Wakkerstroom is to take the R17 (Springs toll road). It ends at a T-junction approximately 85 Km. from Johannesburg. Turn right at the T-junction towards Standerton (70 km.). At Standerton, follow the signs to " Durban / Volksrust / Newcastle". Volksrust is approximately 80km from Standerton. Just before you enter the town of Volksrust, turn left on the tar road to Wakkerstroom. Should you arrive in the dark, the turn off is immediately after the first yellow street lamp. Other beacons for the turn off are a huge concrete "V" celebrating Volksrust's centenary which stands right at the turn off and the railway bridge just after the turn off.
Follow the road for approximately 30 km. About 4 km before Wakkerstroom, turn right at the "Newcastle/ Wakkerstroom Farm Lodge" road signs. Immediately turn right again onto the dirt road. After approximately 1 km. the road has a sharp right bend – follow the road, do not go straight ahead. Approximately 3 km. from this bend you will see another "Wakkerstroom Farm Lodge" sign on your left. 200 meters further you turn left into a long lane of trees. The house is at the end of the lane of trees.
