At a glance
The drive along the N2
Every Garden Route trip leaves from our warehouse in Woodstock and takes the N2 over Sir Lowry’s Pass, through Caledon, Swellendam and Riversdale to Mossel Bay, then on to George, Wilderness, Sedgefield, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay.
These are long trips, so we plan them with you: we agree the delivery day and time window when you book. One trip can drop at more than one town along the way if it is all your load, for example George and then Knysna.
