For fantastic Cape Town views hike to Woodstock Cave - This cave is one of the largest on Table Mountain. It’s formed by a long horizontal crack (50 metres wide by fifteen metres deep and three or four metres high at the entrance) halfway up Devil’s Peak that can clearly be seen from Woodstock and Salt River.

If you’re up for an amazing panoramic Cape Town city, Lions Head and Table Bay view, this is it. Pack snacks and put on your hiking boots or comfortable shoes. It is easily accessible which makes it a popular destination for hikers of all levels.

The walk is a short series of zigzags along a path that is rough underfoot, so be sure to wear appropriate shoes. Take this telephone number in case of emergency. Call Mountain Rescue if you get lost or injured: +27 (0)21 937 0300.

ROUTES:

Tafelberg Road to Woodstock Cave - Moderate

Get to the lower Table Mountain cable station and continue along Tafelberg Road until cars are no longer allowed. Park your car (or continue walking) and pass the road barrier. Walk for a few kilometres along the beautiful tarred road and enjoy the views. At the end of the tarred section, walk a further 100 metres on the dirt road and you will see a green metal gate with stone pillars. The hike up to the cave begins a few steps before this gate, be sure not to miss it. The route zigzags its way slowly up the slope and will bring you to Woodstock Cave’s mouth.

Duration: It is a comfortable thirty minutes to one hour walk up to the cave, so plan 2.5 to 3 hours including a relaxing time inside the cave.

Rhodes Memorial to Woodstock Cave - Moderate

You begin the hike at the parking area at Rhodes Memorial and take the path up towards the Kings Blockhouse. Once there it’s worth stopping for the terrific views. Then follow the path that continues around the mountain and towards Cape Town. After about 10 minutes you pass a ravine and above you is Woodstock Cave.

Duration: It is a comfortable one hour walk up to the cave, so plan 2.5 to 3 hours including a relaxing time inside the cave.
