Cape Town, Devils Peak

The suburb of Devil’s Peak lies below the slopes of Devil’s Peak between Vredehoek and the Table Mountain Nature Reserve. Superb views over the city and Table Bay.

Devil’s Peak – the mountain peak – is a distinctive landmark to the left of Table Mountain.  The Peak starts from Hospital Bend, aka Rhodes Drive at the top of Observatory. Its slopes gently ascend from Groote Schuur Hospital past the zebras and bokkies, and past the old blockhouse to its summit height of 1000m. One can easily walk up its...

As with the Bo Kaap visitors flock to see the brightly painted cottages and villas and it's a haven for tourists with a multitude of guest cottages, bed and breakfasts and Airbnb accommodation to choose from. For such a small neighbourhood...

The Company Gardens, the oldest garden in South Africa, dating back to Jan van Riebeeck, is just down Government Walk and virtually synonymous with the suburb of Gardens.
