Garth South Africa

Most conveniently situated in a quiet side road and only 75 meters from the best deli in Africa. Having your own car would be an advantage. Staff were outstanding.

Welsh South Africa

Owner very communicative and willing to help out or step in when needed. Nice bathrooms.

Dale South Africa

The setting The size of the rooms The availability of coffee and milk The cleanliness The inside parking The safety of the guest house They cater for allergies

Charlotte South Africa

Location, value, and the cooked eggs for breakfast were all great. Not many parking spots so we parked on-street, which was fine. New owners had just taken over and were really friendly with lots of ideas for taking the guesthouse to the next level. An excellent spot for a central Cape Town stay, only 10min walk to the V&A.

Sarah United Kingdom

service, parking possibilities behind te gate, the two hosts were extremely friendly. Even after checkout it was possible to leave the car behind the gate and we even could use the shower

4 on Varneys Guest House is personally managed to make sure that we attend to all our guests needs. The Guest House has recently undergone a complete make over to make our guests visits are more comfortable and enjoyable. We offer a hot breakfast to start the day and guests are encouraged to make use of the garden and swimming pool. Our house is small enough to make sure your needs are taken care of and yet large enough to make sure you get the privacy that you want. 4 on Varneys is in a heritage Victorian house that has the beautiful old style but yet renovated with all the modern amenities. We have three floors so please request a lower floor if you feel that is more suitable to your needs. We look forward to hosting you.
My name is Gayle and together with our fantastic staff we would love to welcome you to 4 on Varneys Guest House. I am passionate about our beautiful city and happy to offer advise on where to go and enjoy the sites. We also offer cycling tours to the advanced cyclist who wants to cycle the Peninsula.
We are located in Green Point, opposite the Cape Town Stadium in a quiet road. With restaurants and cafes and bakeries around the corner as well as a pharmacy, supermarket and 24hr pizzeria we are perfectly situated to cover all our guests needs. The Waterfront and city center is a 15 minute walk . The Sea Point promenade is just a ten minute walk. Grab the hop on off bus and see the city.
