Our honeymoon was spent all over South Africa, but upon our arrival in Cape Town, at 79 on Orange, we experienced the epitome of South African hospitality. Marc and Ivan are hands-down the most spectacular hosts - so fantastic, that I miss them now that I'm back home! Incredible service, extensive help with our planning (and dinners!), fabulous conversation...we cannot... more

My husband and I have just returned from our holiday to S.Africa. We stayed two nights at 79 on Orange and cannot fault the place - Mark and Ivan were wonderful hosts, the room was lovely with fantastic views of Table Mountain and the staff were so helpful and breakfasts were amazing! All in all an absolutley brilliant place to... more

My husband and I stayed for two nights at the beginning of November in the Lime Room - it was absolute bliss. Everything that has been said in previous reviews is all so true. Every last detail has been thought about Excellent food, rooms, owners and staff. Pick up service from the airport by Clifton is great. He left us... more

Hard to imagine how our stay in Cape Town could have been any better. Marc, Ivan, Clifton and Pumla (and I hope I got all the names right and spelled them correctly) treated us like old friends, fed us amazing breakfasts, organised our disorganised lives for us, recommended restaurants, talked with erudition on art and politics and provided a beautiful... more

We have just spent 4 days at 79 on Orange and couldnt recommend it highly enough. Marc and Ivan are fantastic hosts and all their staff are first class. The property is furnished to the highest standard - rooms are large and luxurious, their furniture and paintings are stunning and the garden is beautiful. They cannot do enough to make... more

What can we say apart from Ivan and Marc made our four night stay at their spotlessly clean and welcoming B&B a hugely pleasurable and relaxing time in Cape Town. They not only provided luxurious bedrooms, great breakfast (cereals, beautifully fresh fruit, toast and a full cooked to follow !) , but also their own personal touches. They booked trips,... more

A very belated review from my trip at the end of March this year however this has nothing to do with the quality of the place. 79 on Orange is simply stunning. I stayed in the Orange Room which was beautifully decorated and felt like my own luxury apartment (it also had a great bathroom with open shower). Marc and... more

I absolutely loved my stay here. Marc and Ivan are so warm and hospitable that you really feel at home. They really gave my stay a personal touch which was lovely as I was there by myself, so if you're travelling alone this is a great place to stay as you also meet the other guests and are made to... more

On our 2nd visit to '79' was it still wonderful.........absolutely! This beautifully kept guest house offers all that anyone could wish for....beautiful decor & a lovely lavender filled garden with the most friendly & hospitable staff. Unfortunately, once again we stayed whilst the owners Marc & Ivan were away but this was more than made up for by the brilliant... more
