Celebrate Freedom Day With Everything ...
Your guide to what to do and where to go this Freedom Day in Cape Town
Orange Kloof tented camp
This tented camp in Hout Bay is surrounded by an Afromontane forest
Orange Kloof tented camp is a place that’s a bit of a surprise in 'beachy' Hout Bay. Here we’re talking forest. A rare Afromontane forest surrounds the beautiful camp, which is located just down the road from Constantia Nek going towards Hout Bay. Opened in 2007, Orange Kloof offers comfortable facilities so close to Cape Town – ideal as a getaway for families, nature lovers, hikers or for team building.
Accommodation
This self-catering camp simply calls for endless braais –prep in the fully equipped communal kitchen. The camp is designed in a style that won‘t go out of fashion and sleeps a maximum of 12 persons. On offer are a four-sleeper family tent and four two-sleeper tents, all complete with single beds, mattresses and sheets, as well as electric lighting. Guests make use of two communal ablution blocks within the camp, with hot and cold running water in the shower units.
