Besides the proximity of Table Mountain being fantastic, this area of Cape Town, Vredehoek, has gorgeous views of the city, harbour, and Table Bay. As I'm sure you can imagine, this particular spot in Cape Town is highly sought after, making it impossible for most to afford a home here.
However, there's another price to pay for living in this area - and that would be the wind. When it's a beautiful day, it's awesome, but around this time of the year every now and again the wind howls like a troupe of irate banshees, leaving the only means to a peaceful night's sleep a comfy pair of earplugs! :)

I had to go and see what banshees means….!!!!
It is very true, last night our windows were rattling in the wind, making a terrible noise. We live very close, in Gardens. I come from Genoa, Italy and over there it is very windy like here and I often feel like been at home.

Oh yes, you are correct about the wind! I love living here but the wind can drive a person crazy. It is *howling* tonight.
