It is located at the northern end of the Hout Bay valley, just to the west of Cecilia Park. It is a conservation area with highly restricted access, vegetated by indigenous Afro-temperate forest and endangered Peninsula Granite Fynbos.
Orange Kloof is believed to have derived its name from the bark of the orange-coloured saffron trees that were prevalent in Hout Bay at the time.[1]
