About Eerste Rivier

Eerste River lies on the Cape Flats, just off the N2 between Cape Town and Somerset West, with the R102 linking it to Kuils River, Blue Downs and Macassar close by. Most trips here are local, Brackenfell and Guguletu are quick hops, though some drivers arrive from as far as Vredenburg or the Overberg coast. Cape Town International is about 20 km off, and you'll find over 30 fast chargers around town. Keep an eye out for the old railway station, still standing where the town first took root.
