DIRECTIONS:
If you are coming from Pretoria, take the M1 towards Joburg, take the Empire Rd Offramp. turn right into Empire road. I think it’s the second robots, take a left into OWL rd (you go under Barry Hertzog flyover), Atlas Studios comes up on your left hand side, it’s the old Bakery building… you turn left into Frost avenue and you can’t miss the entrance.
ITS FREE – only R10 for ‘parking’.
