7.5/10 · Safe

A residential neighbourhood perched high on the slopes of Devil's Peak with spectacular panoramic views of the city, harbour, and Table Mountain. Popular with young professionals and creative types who appreciate its village feel and proximity to hiking trails, though the famous southeaster wind earns it the nickname 'Vrede-waai'.
