Guest access The last 7kms of the van der Stel Pass coming from the Grabouw (R321 side) and the whole of the 16km from Botriver to Porcupine Hills is gravel - but regularly graded and fine for all types of cars, other than very low-slung sporty numbers! All the roads on the property are also gravel but not a problem. Winter rains do leave a lot of mud and puddles.. Other things to note There is an option of accommodating extra guests/kids at an additional cost. The large main bedroom has a sleeper couch and there is a single daybed in the lounge.
