Oranjezicht
Oranjezicht in Cape Town can be literally translated as ‘Orange View'. It was named this either due to the view of the Oranje bastion of the Castle of Good Hope or the abundance of orange trees that used to grow in Table Valley. Together with Tamboerskloof, it is one of the older and more established suburbs of Cape Town. Traditional Victorian double-storey Oranjezicht properties are on larger stands, together with well-maintained and well-built sectional title apartments make up this highly sought-after area. Oranjezicht lies directly beneath Table Mountain and above Camp Street, between Upper Buitenkant Street to its' East and Molteno Road to its' West.
