- Take the Hermanus turn off, drive through the town towards Standford on the R43.
- Drive past Stanford town and continue straight to Gansbaai - DO NOT take the Grootbos turn off (this was the route in previous years). This dirt road is not great this year.

- Turn LEFT towards Elim (look out for the sign).
- Drive for approximately 7 km up and over a small mountain to the turn-off on your left as you descend the hill. This is a tar road that quickly turns into a dirt road and there will be a big sign for De Uijlenes. Turn left here and look out for our flags and signs for the Reforest Fest.
- Platbos FESTIVAL ENTRANCE will be on your LEFT before the real Platbos Forest entrance.
- Follow the sign boards until you come to the Festival Entrance. Drive up the fire break towards the festival.
