I doubt I could have found a more pleasant and comfortable guesthouse in Cape Town! It is truly lovely, beautifully-decorated, and down to earth at the same time.

We stayed at 79 On Orange for 6 nights in August and we felt like being at home. The house is very nice with many art-deco pieces. Breakfast is excellent, especially the fruit salad which is fresh every day. We highly recommend the guest house. more
