Good day,

We are planning a trip from Queenstown/Komani to Port Shepstone.
We don't want to go through Mthatha.
Places along our planned route include Indwe, Khowa, Ugie, Matatiele and Kokstad.

Is this road accessible by car? MG HS
Any suggestions on alternative routes or overnight accommodation near Matatiele?

Any other advice or comments are welcome.

Regards

Dries Potgieter

Hi Dries,
That is the route I usually take when I go to friends in Kokstad. Easily handled by a car, tar all the way, just be careful of the speed bumps in the Transkei part.

Unfortunately no knowledge of accommodation in Matatiele. 

regards
Deon

Dries use the route via Cala. Elliot to Kokstad is good tar with big roadworks between Matatiele and Kokstad.
Queenstown to Port Shepstone easily done in one day.
Cheers Brett
