Longkloof

Longkloof is situated at the northern end of Valley Road. It has one entrance and exit point – Longkloof Road. The main boundary on the north side is TMNP, east side is the Orangekloof Nature Reserve and with Tarragona bordering on the West side.

The entrance to Longkloof has been boomed for the last ten years and is manned and monitored on a 24-hour basis by a private guarding company which is linked to the Watchcon network via radio.

There are approximately 63 properties within the Longkloof area, of which about 25 residents belong to neighbourhood watch and own a HBNW radio.

The HBNW radio holders have been organized by the Area Leader, Toby Adams to respond when required. These “first responders” will go to a pre-arranged spot to watch and report any criminal movement giving directional information via radio to patrollers, SAPS and SSP’s.

Longkloof has its own Residents’ Association and meetings are called when there are specific security issues and email alerts are sent to all residents on a regular basis.
