Vredehoek (Afrikaans: "peace corner",[2] Afrikaans: [frɪədəhuk]) is a residential suburb of Cape Town, South Africa, located at the foot of Table Mountain and Devil's Peak. It is sandwiched between the two neighbouring suburbs of Oranjezicht and Devil's Peak Estate, the latter of which is often considered a sub-suburb of Vredehoek as they both fall under the neighbourhood watch community called DPV - Devil's Peak & Vredehoek.
The suburb is easily recognised by the three cylindrical Disa Park towers,[3] many Art Deco-style buildings, and the natural beauty of public green spaces and parks. In 2011, the City of Cape Town census counted 5,415 people living in the area.[4]
It is served by route 111 and 101 of the MyCiTi bus service.[5]
