King's Blockhouse

Very beautiful view from the blockhouse, but nothing much else, no info about the blockhouse and not much other than the humming coming from the structure. The views are a good reasons to take the hike, so I would definitely recommend it.

I finally at the age of 47 decided to take up MTB and cycled from Southfield to Kings Blockhouse, what a trip, climb was fairly tough but worth every pedal stroke.... If you have not it is a add to bucket list destination.

Absolutely beautiful place to be at just sit and recover from the harshness of life.

Getting there is quite easy. The view from there is remarkable overlooking the CBD and Cape Town harbour as well as the Cape Flats

Regularly ride to this spot, the views are great and the single track downhill trail just below Blockhouse is awesome.

Stunning views from here. It's a pretty steep walk up but it's not too long to get up to the Blockhouse. Park at Rhodes Memorial Restaurant/Tea Garden and take the road on the left going up the mountain. It's a good path but a lot of stones and rocks so wear good hiking boots. Its about an hour up for slow walkers.

One of my favourite views on the mountain, also the easiest to get to. Hiking from Newlands takes about an hour, 100% recommended if you like the outdoors and looking for something quick and easy.
