How to get here
Okay, so you have never been to McGregor before. Well, don't fret, as it is pretty easy to find. The village is situated on the road to nowhere and this is how you get here:
From Garden Route via Route 62:
Follow the R62 to Montagu, continue through Ashton towards Robertson.
At the roundabout, continue straight onto what becomes Voortrekker Road
after the circle, continue past the sharp bend, and turn LEFT at the
McGregor sign, opposite Roodezant Cellar. McGregor is about 22km/15mins
drive away from this turn-off. Cross the ‘Red Bridge’ over the Breede
River. Take a LEFT where the road forks, just after the bridge. Now, just stick to
this road, you’re nearly there. *continued
From Garden Route via Mossel Bay:
Follow N2 to Swellendam, R60(N15) to Ashton, Continue on R60 towards
Robertson. At the roundabout, continue straight onto Voortrekker Road,
round the bend and turn LEFT at the McGregor sign, opposite Roodezant
Cellar. McGregor is about 22km/15mins drive away from this turn-off.
Cross the ‘Red Bridge’ over the Breede River. Take a LEFT where the road forks, just
after the bridge. Now, just stick to this road, you’re nearly there.
*continued
From Cape Town:
Get onto the N1, toward Paarl. Come through the Huguenot Tunnel, or if
you have no fear of heights and winding mountain-passes, take the
scenic road over the mountain. Stick to the N1. As you approach
Worcester, you will see a Shell Ultra City fuel station on your left. Just past the Ultra City, there are two sets of traffic
lights on the N1. Drive up to the SECOND set of lights, and turn RIGHT
into Worcester. Pass the Fire Station on your right, over the
hump-backed bridge, at the bottom of which you’ll encounter another set
of traffic lights. Cross that intersection, and at the next set of
lights, turn LEFT onto the main road (High St), away from the town
center. About 2 blocks further there is another set of traffic lights and a
sign reading “To Robertson”, turn RIGHT here. Drive the approximate
45km to Robertson.
As you enter Robertson, there is a Shell Fuel Station on the LEFT. You
are now on Voortrekker Rd. A few hundred yards further on, you’ll see
the sign to McGregor. (Left, on the corner, you’ll see Roodezant
Cellar) Turn RIGHT here. McGregor is about 22km/15mins drive away from
this turn-off. Cross the ‘Red Bridge’ over the Breede River. Take the
LEFT fork just after the bridge. Now, just stick to this road, you’re
nearly there. *cont.
When you enter the village: All Routes continued...
As you enter through the white posts, please do be sure to slow down. There are often free range kids, dogs & frogs in the road, not to mention an occasional pig or two. Continue straight up the main road. Cross 3 Stop signs. Just before the fourth, you will find McGregor Country House B&B and the Overdraught Pub, on the RIGHT side of the road. It is next to, but before the municipal office and exactly opposite Frangipani Coffee Shop. If you pass/have just passed the church, please reverse a few meters.
I look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful village.
Enjoy the trip!
Best Wishes,
Carol
