Welcome to Acorn House on SA-Venues.com, offering 4 star graded accommodation in Oranjezicht, City Bowl.

Acorn House**** is an elegant guesthouse in Cape Town. The location in Oranjezicht, a prime residential suburb of Cape Town at the foot of Table Mountain, is exceptionally convenient.

Accommodation

Acorn House is a National Monument, over 100 years old, and still smells fresh. Lounge, dining room and bedrooms have been lovingly preserved. Few, careful chosen modern details add to its charm. The nine and a half bedrooms, en-suite, are light-filled and offer exclusive, traditional furnishings combined with timeless elegant fabrics. The beds provide a very good sleeping comfort – this is often praised. Some of the amenities are a hair dryer, international power adaptor, shampoo and soap, and a gown.

Acorn House is a place to escape to. The atmosphere in the classic lounge or in the well maintained garden is relaxing, and invites to stay and indulge. Well chosen music adds to the mood, from South African Jazz or Chill-out tunes to classical music in the evening. A great selection of white and red wines are available, as is a Nespresso bar and so much more.
