Twentytwo
Style Colourful, cordial guesthouse
Setting Mountain-view Oranjezicht
‘Bold use of colour’ is usually synonymous with ‘eye-sickening clashes’, but not at hotel 22. Each of this boutique bed and breakfast’s four rooms have been uniquely styled with a colour palette that could be dangerous in the wrong hands, but here works a harmonious modern magic.

Our favourite rooms
Although rooms 2 and 3 are the largest and most honeymoon-friendly, we got very excited about room 1, with its clever colour palette of pastel blue, accented with orange and umber. It also has a fabulous little sun deck – complete with comical plastic dog sculpture. Room 4 is the smallest, but, thanks to its corner window, has the biggest view: the mountains to one side, the Waterfront to the other.
Packing tips
Walking boots or decent trainers are always useful for traipsing Cape Town and exploring the environs – especially if you take advantage of owners Allan and Dominic’s personal trainer friend, who can take you on fitness-building mountain hikes.
Also
22 can arrange temporary membership at a nearby gym, or spa treatments at a hotel in the vicinity. Allan and Dominic live on site and are generally on hand to help make your stay as pleasant as possible.
From the Guestbook…
What a great place to stay. The team could not be more friendly and helpful. Quite funky and huge choice of breakfast. Stayed in a clean and big room.
