Although my visit was a short buisness trip I found 4 On Varneys a great place to be. You are situated approximatly 25 minutes drive from the airport. A 15 minute walk to the Water Front, V & A and all the city shops etc. However, as my trip was for work I was happy to visit the restaurants nearby... More

We loved our visit to 4 on Varneys, Cape Town; the mother city wowed us with all its wonderous sites, the 4 on Varneys staff and hosts were very friendly, and the weather was excellent! Overall, we highly recommend 4 on Varneys as it is a very nice home with all the comforts one could wish for, it's in a... More

I loved Cape Town and this was an adequate B&B to stay in. The location was fine, the hosts were fine and the breakfast was fine. I found that the walk to everything was just a bit far to everything, but since I was in Cape Town I should have rented a car. I did enjoy my room and I... More

Everybody's needs are different....and for us $ on Varney's is just right. Our stay is for 3 nights, our first visit to SA and enroute to meet up with an Overland Safari (accomodated) from Cape Town to Vic Falls. We are very happy to explore on our own and Varney's is so central.....just a walk to the wonderful V &... More

We spent our first two night in South Africa at 4 on Varneys. Philip was there to greet us on our arrival and showed us to our room which was a good size, clean and nicely decorated. Phil explained about the honesty box which enables you to help yourself to wine\beer\soft drinks etc. Also gave us advise on the area.... More

Staying in a B&B in a town like Cape Town has many advantages: 1. Local hosts who give you all the inside dope/ info (the best piece of advice that Thierry gave was to stay away from the Waterfront - complete tourist trap, very true) ALL the restaurants that they recommended were PHENOMENAL especially La Mouette at Sea Point and...

If you are looking for a homey guest house with personal service from live-in hosts, forget this place. We could as well have stayed in a hotel. The guest house is run by two European gentlemen. We had booked long in advance and arrived a party of 4 on Dec 22 for 9 days. We were well taken care of... More

Owners and staff were welcoming and accommodating. Even though our plane arrived late in the evening, the taxi they had arranged was waiting at the airport and staff were on hand at the Inn to get us situated in our room. Breakfasts were good, and both hosts were then on hand to offer suggestions. They had heard rumors that the... More

Recommend most highly. Best location--10 min walk to V&A Waterfront, 20 min to city center, convenient taxi stand, safe neighborhood. Hosts Thierry & Philip are extraordinarily gracious and helpful (Thierry even drove us downtown to pick up our rental car and waited until we were all set), the rooms are big, clean, and well furnished, the breakfasts are wonderful. There's... More
