When you get to the turn-off to the town of Komatipoort DO NOT TURN OFF THE N4! We are 1 km from the turnoff and the SASOL garage, and a few meters after the Komati River Bridge. As you get to the end of the bridge, put your indicator on and prepare to turn left through the white entrance structure with Orchards Farm Cottages on them. Follow the arrows (about 200meters). Park under carport.
Directions from Kruger National Park Crocodile Bridge Gate: The town of Komatipoort is 11 km from the Kruger Park Crocodile Bridge exit. Drive straight through the town until you get to the N4. At the N4, turn LEFT toward the Mozambique border post od Ressano Garcia. We are 1 km from the turnoff and the SASOL garage, and a few meters after the Komati River Bridge.

Directions from the Mozambique border post: Drive approximately 3 km down the N4, past the turn-off left to Mananga/Swaziland. On the bend in the road look out for the Hippo sign on the left - the entrance to Orchards Farm Cottages is directly opposite on the right. This is an 80 km/per hour zone, but a number of drivers seem to ignore this, so please take care to put your car's indicators on well before the bend.
