Kloof Corner Sunset View

This is a wonderful spot to have sundowners. The View is spectacular. Its easy to watch the sunset from here, and you will get a great panorama over the whole city as well as be able to see the Apostles and the Camps Bay Vista. Take yourself a picnic as the walk is not that difficult and it will be definitely worth the effort.

Kloof Corner Sunset Parking

Be warned, in season, particularly on those spectacular evenings there can be a lot of traffic in the region which may delay you getting to the car park. The reason for this is that the Cable Car is popular over this time and the cars may prevent you getting close to the actual parking. You might want to consider parking at the Nek itself and walking the first part of the road, before the hike actually starts, if the traffic is very bad.
