How to get there
Travel either on the R511 (from Diepsloot and through Hennops) or the R512 (past Lanseria to Broederstroom). Pass Pecanwood and drive straight past the turning to Brits and Sun City. You will pass the entrance to Lakeland and then cross over a disused railway crossing. You then pass the entrance to the Coves on your right hand side. Further on you will see the jumps of Le Godimo horse trials course on your left.
700m past Le Godimo's entrance (and sign) is a T-junction. Turn left onto the R560 to Magaliesburg. Van Gaalen Cheese Farm is immediately on your right. Cross the Scheerpoort river and continue through the "village" of Scheerpoort (Watch out for the four little speed bumps!). There is a brand new petrol station with a shop and toilets on the left (Good for a 'loo' stop')
1,3km from the (Van Gaalen) T-junction there is a stop street. Turn right onto the gravel road to Hartebeesfontein. The sign might appear to point straight on to Hartebeesfontein, but you must turn right onto the dirt road.
After turning off the tar you enter the farm using the 5th gate on the right. We are NOT using Gate 3, which is where we used to enter previously - but NOT this time. The 5th Gate is marked “Astley Manor Pecan Farm Gate 5”
