Cape Town to Hermanus delivery— a dedicated trip for your furniture, art and goods, not a courier
JLog drives dedicated trips from our Woodstock warehouse to Hermanus and the Overstrand: 116 km, about 1¾ hours by road. Your goods travel alone in one JLog vehicle with a driver and a helper, loaded in Cape Town and carried in at your door. From R2,500 per trip, VAT included, for the vehicle and a two-person crew.
At a glance
The drive to Hermanus
Most trips take the N2 over Sir Lowry’s Pass and turn onto the R43 at Bot River: 116 km from our warehouse, about 1¾ hours’ driving. The R44 coastal road past Gordon’s Bay, Betty’s Bay and Kleinmond is slower, and useful when there is a drop along the way.
We agree the delivery day and time window with you when you book.
