Perfectly positioned just metres from Kommetjie Lighthouse, this beautifully appointed self-catering accommodation facility is part of the Hoerikwaggo Tented Camp range. These include Smitswinkel, Silvermine, Slangkop and Orange Kloof and were built slightly raised off the ground to minismise environmental impact. The eco-friendly design, showcases a different theme at each site – of which Slangkop boasts a marine setting using whale vertebrae as lamp shades.

Each camp offers accommodation for those hiking the Hoerikwaggo Trail from Cape Point to Table Mountain, or simply offers guests the opportunity to sleep under the stars on the mountain for a mid-week or weekend getaway.

The Slangkop Open Week allows locals and visitors to view the accommodation and learn more about the area and facility at the visitor information centre, adjacent to the camp site.
