Directions

Travel up the N1 from Makhado (formerly Louis Trichardt) to Musina. Approximately 11km from Makhado, 1km after the Avoca Vale Hotel, is a turn-off to your right to Witvlag. This is a gravel road. About 700m along this road, on the left-hand side, you will see a signposted metal gate with wooden edging – WV8. Pass this and then you will come to another gate on your left, this is the entrance for guests to the farm. You need to contact Gail for the code for the gate. Poor network at the gate - best to call from the N1 as you turn off.
