Padraig M. • December 19, 2016Beautiful views and a great adventurous hike for beginners. Go well-prepared: bring enough water and sunscreen. The hike is about 1 hour up and 45 minutes down.

Яyan M. • January 8, 2016The best post in a Cape Town to go for a sunset walk. Dog friendly and cyclist friendly.

Phil E. • October 7, 2012A crossing point between wine taters and walkers. Make sure you remember what you came to do

Roch • January 28, 2023Amazing trail, don’t forget the sun cream !

Dion T. • May 18, 2014Good for a casual and scenic hike, lots of dog walkers so definitely bring the dog along

Danie C. • October 12, 2014Really enjoyed it. Great dog walk. Need to go back and walk some of the other routes

Kim v. • May 23, 2014Great view - just hard to take pictures as the walkways moves a bit whenever someone walks.

Lydon M. • January 25, 2014A great track if you're looking for something not too strenuous. Arrive early in the morning to make the most of the shade before the sun rounds the mountain!

Padraig M. • January 8, 2017Fantastic hike. Approx 1-1,5 hours. Very challenging, expect to stop for a breath a few times ;-)

Niki S. • December 2, 2015Absolutely breath taking views. Bring your camera, it's worth it.

Prudy • February 4, 2016Hike in stunning weather where there is a lot of shed. Go for a dip at the dam and have a picnic while you at it. Doors open at 7am in summer. Bring friend, family and children

Bryn D. • March 14, 2012Definitely worth the annual fee if you're a Somerset West resident. It is enjoyable, but the weekend crowd can occasionally be a bit noisy. Plenty of bird species, Bontebok & large Leopard tortoises.

Brittany S. • August 9, 2013Absolutely loved it. Definitely worth the early morning rise and stiff legs.

Justine G. • May 22, 2013There's water all year round, but winter's the best time to let your dogs swim - much cleaner.

Clara C. • May 12, 2011lovely picnic spot under the trees

Yuri R. • May 18, 2017Must visit. Take a rental car if you're brave enough. The winding roads are challenging but the view (especially at sunset) is rewarding.

Jessica H. • December 4, 2018Absolute must-do for world travelers. Take the hike up, it is soooo worth it.

Katerina C. • March 13, 2015Perfect place for sunset and picnic. Pack a jacket as it gets windy.

Alistair • February 23, 2016The ocean views, the mountain views. A slow drive with lots of photo stops is a must for any visitor to Cape Town. Toll gate at the Hout Bay end.

Steve B. • March 15, 2010Awesome place to do some great mountain biking!

Kanthan P. • January 2, 2012This is an easy walk with spectacular views of False Bay. Park your car at 110 Boyes drive, cross the road, and follow the trail. Turn back when you've had enough.
