Driving Directions From Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha)
Stanley Island is approximately two and a half hours drive (220km) from Port Elizabeth along the N2 national road. The Keurbooms River is the first of two rivers 5km before Plettenberg Bay. Just after the long descent with the most beautiful view of the Robberg Peninsula (you’ve arrived in paradise!) you will see a small sign on your right hand side “Ferries” just before the Keurbooms River bridge. Take the right and turn first left through the boom gate (say that you are Stanley Island guests for free access). Drive underneath the bridge and park your car near the big jetty next to the slipway.
Driving Directions From Cape Town
Stanley Island is approximately five and a half hours drive (500km) from Cape Town along the N2 national road.

Take the first left through the boom gate (say that you are Stanley Island guests for free access). Drive underneath the bridge and park your car near the big jetty next to the slipway.
