No special access issues
🚗 How to get there From Bath Street in the centre of town:
Turn up Barry Street, then left through the dip, passing a suspension bridge. Turn right at the fork towards signs showing the hiking trails and continue straight (past Rainbow Glen on the right), through a gate and over a bridge into the Montagu Mountain Reserve, to reach a little kiosk on your right by a boom. This is where you pay. Continue across another bridge and park on your right below the Ou Meul.
🚗 For the Avalon Springs Hotel side of Bad Kloof:
Drive out of town towards Oorlogs Kloof on the R318, towards Touwsrivier. After a few kilometres, turn left at the Avalon Springs Hotel sign. Continue along to park inside the hotel grounds.
🚶♂️
The common point of access for Bad Kloof is from the Ou Meul (Montagu town) side, particularly if you are climbing on any of the crags near that side of the kloof. However, there is a fee of R18 (at the time of writing) to enter from this side. Strangely enough, if you enter Bad Kloof from the Avalon Springs Hotel side, there is no fee (at the time of writing). They are very friendly here. Simply tell them you are going climbing, then drive into the hotel grounds and park at the far end. Just take note that the gate on the hotel side closes at 6 pm.
