We have previously stayed at this B&B in December 2010 and had booked two rooms for 6 nights over Xmas 2011, paying deposits of over 5,000 Rand in January 2011. Imagine the shock when we received this e-mail from the B&B's payment portal last week Dear Dr H I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but thought it... More

I definitely recomend 79 on Orange! It was a luxurious, secure haven ideally placed in a beautiful city. The rooms were kept very clean and the breakfast was very good.

We stayed at 79 on Orange for four days in May, 2011. Throughout our stay we were made to feel most welcome by Mark and Ivan and we enjoyed our daily conversations with each of them over breakfast, tea or a glass of wine. They were invaluable resources as we planned our day's activities and we immediately trusted their advice... More

We stayed for 5 days during the World Cup and after a 3 week trip and stiff competition elsewhere, this was our number one choice. Sorry it's taken so long to write our review! Marc and Ivan are the best hosts - they keep a beautiful house, serve delicious breakfasts and recommend great places for dinner. We truly felt at... More

Very conveniently located in a quality Cape Town neighborhood, 79 on Orange was a pleasure. The property is beautiful and comfortable, and it’s all about your hosts, Marc & Ivan. This property is their business, but it’s also their home. The furnishings have been lovingly collected over a lifetime, not gathered together all in one weekend for the purpose of... More

We had booked 3 rooms at the B&B during the world cup season and we were not disappointed! We were travelling in a party of 7 with different arrival times for some and all were met and looked after with great hospitality. The location is fantastic with great views of table mountain on one side and easily accessible to the... More

The location of this B&B is fantastic. We stayed 2 nights at this place. We were welcomed and even offered tea and coffee despite arriving at 23:00 (last flight from Jo’burg). The décor in the rooms were fantastic. Marc and Ivan have amazing taste and were very warm hosts. They also have the most amazing sit out where we had... More

What would your ideal B&B offer? A Beautiful location in a beautiful city, stunning appointments, comfortable and quiet slumber, excellent breakfasts, knowledgeable and supremely helpful hosts, pre-dinner evenings around the ample kitchen island drinking delicious wine and conversing with delightful guests, friends, family, and even staff? Cats that actually like you and let you nickname them? A squadron of gorgeous... More
