Devil’s Peak Estate climbs the lower slopes of Devil’s Peak above Woodstock and Walmer Estate, with roads that are steep and often narrow. Houses step down the hill, so roofs sit close to the floor level of the home above. That affects how high a flue needs to go to draw properly, and we measure it against surrounding buildings before recommending a unit.
This side of the mountain catches the south-easter as it rushes down from Devil’s Peak, and gusts can be very strong in summer. In winter, the slope is exposed to the cold fronts coming in over Table Bay. We fit secure, wind-rated cowls and recommend closed-combustion units that hold heat well in homes that face the weather.
A wood-burning stove is a great fit for Devil’s Peak Estate family homes, giving strong heat through wet Cape winters. Choose from our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490, sized to your room.
Gas is convenient if carrying wood up steep stairs is a chore. It heats fast and needs little maintenance. We install the line and venting and hand over a Certificate of Compliance on completion.
For flats or rooms where a flue is not possible, bio-ethanol and electric fireplaces give you a flame feature with no building work.
Many Devil’s Peak Estate homes have terraced gardens or stoeps looking over the harbour and Table Bay. We build braais to suit those spaces, from wood braais in brick or stone to gas braais and pizza ovens. On exposed terraces we place the braai and hood so wind does not blow smoke and sparks back towards the house.

Call +27 73 209 3004On steep plots, the house above or nearby roofs can create turbulence over a short flue, and wind off Devil's Peak makes it worse. Raising the flue or fitting a better cowl usually helps. We check on site first.
