Directions while driving:
A short 40-minutes highway drive from Supenaam stelling, followed by 20 minutes off road drive is all that’s standing between you and your lake mainstay resort adventure.
- After you drive off of the ferry, turn right on the public road and drive to the town of Anna Regina, keep driving until you see the police station which will be on your left just before the bridge.
- Next to the police station, there is also a street on your left, turn onto that street and follow this route until you reach another road, keep on this road (heading east).
- Along the way, you’ll notice signs on the light poles that says “this way to lake mainstay resort”.
- After a 10 minutes of driving east on the straight road, there will be a 90 degree turn on your left, take this turn and keep driving, there will be another 90 degree turn on your right, take this turn and keep heading straight. (You will pass 6 speed bumps)
- Just after the last speed bump, you will approach a wooden high bridge. Drive over this bridge and this is where your off road drive begins. (The road is mixture of loam, sand and mud).
- After you cross the bridge, there will be another wooden high bridge on your left, drive over this one as well.
- Just over the second bridge, the toll booth is situated on the left, you’ll have to make a brief stop here to provide your name and pay the toll for your vehicle after which you’ll get access to the village.
- Drive into the village and keep on the same road (approx. 15 minutes) until you arrive at an intersection where there is another road on your right to take you to the village of Tapakuma. Do not drive onto this road.
- Keep driving on the road on the left and you’ll approach the community of Mainstay, drive through the community and after the last brief turn you’ll finally arrive at your destination paradise!
Clear signs, well-maintained roads and pretty countryside make it a pleasant drive from the stelling to our resort. Traveling has never been easier!
