Transportation Recommendations
Railway/Train
You may take the Gautrain (train) from O. R. Tambo International Airport to the Hatfield Station. The Gautrain schedule, with arrival and departure times, can be accessed on the Gautrain website (linked below), the Gautrain mobile app, or at any Gautrain station. Please visit their website linked below to learn how to navigate the Gautrain railway, how to purchase a ticket, etc. Please note that you will be prompted to register/create an account on the website or app in order to access the Gautrain schedule.
Taxis and Ubers
Please note that taxis and Ubers are not allowed to pick up guests within one block of the Gautrain station. However, an alternative and reliable option would be to walk one block away from the Gautrain station and then arrange for a taxi or Uber to pick you up from a nearby pick-up point.
Shuttle
When booking your hotel, we suggest you inquire about arranging a shuttle to be sent to the Gautrain station to transport you to the hotel. Most hotels are happy to assist.
