Tolle Location Toller Gastgeber Super tolles Frühstück
Die Pools waren leider wirklich kalt.
Super schön, sehr nette Menschen und auch eine phantastische Lage
Detail at breakfast.
Over priced. Forced to pay in full weeks in advance.
I love everything about the property essentially the location
The pool is not heated as such I was unable to swim.
We enjoyed everything. The host met us on arrival with a welcoming glass of champagne. Lovely views over Somerset West. Breakfast was amazing and different everyday. Owner was extremely helpful and wanted to ensure our stay was an enjoyable and memorable experience, which it definitely was.

Location and surroundings
We liked everything
Richard ist der perfekte Gastgeber mit viel Fingerspitzengefühl, unterstützt von einem tollen Team! Freundlich, unaufdringlich und dezent und dennoch immer präsent. Unzählige liebevolle Details verschönern diesen ohnehin schon perfekten Aufenthalt, sehr ästhetisch und schön für‘s Auge. Das Picknick-Körbchen zum Frühstück ist einmalig.
Ontbijt was geweldig en gastheer Richard weet hoe je gasten in de watten moet leggen
Prachtige locatie met vergezichten. Zeer familiaal onthaal door Richard. Zeer mooi onderhouden domein. Twee mooie zwembaden. Heel vriendelijk personeel. Zeer lekker, persoonlijk ontbijt.
Niets
De service en gastvrijheid is ronduit fantastisch. Een warm welkom met een drankje met korte uitleg. De kamers zijn geweldig, ruim, heerlijke badkamer, het straalt luxe uit. Tot in de kleine details merk je dat hier voor je gezorgd wordt en dat je gewaardeerd wordt als klant.
Er is werkelijk niets wat op te merken is aan deze accommodatie.
Sehr freundliches Personal. Sehr sauber. Manager Richard sehr kompetent, freundlich und hilfsbereit
Keine Kritik
Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Richard ist ein sehr zuvorkommender, aufmerksamer und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich. Die Suite war super sauber und gepflegt, die Zimmermädchen haben alles perfekt gereinigt. Es war alles perfekt!!
Tolles Ambiente, geschmackvolle Ausstattung, gute Lage, sehr netter Gastgeber, der immer gute Tipps für Unternehmungen und Restaurants hat. Frühstück morgens sehr liebevoll angerichtet, glutenfreies Brot ist kein Problem
Sehr guts individuelles Frühstück. Sehr ruhige Lage, sehr zugewandter Gastgeber. Wirklich sehr zu empfehlen.
Delicious breakfast every morning, nicely presented in a picnic style basket and served in a closed in patio with beautiful view and fireplace for cold mornings. Freshly baked croissants, rolls and muffins. Every day the egg dish is new, or can be adjusted to your own taste. Our rooms were big, well equipped, spotless with lovely underfloor heating. Host and other staff were all very friendly, professional and accommodating. Can highly recommend!
great breakfast with amazing view
nothing. all perfect
Everything about this place was beautiful especially the views. Richard and team were on hand with everything

This is one of the best Bed & Breakfast properties I’ve ever stayed at! The impeccably clean, luxurious, and spacious bedroom and bathroom truly stand out. The creative breakfast basket was a delightful and unique touch—something I’ve never experienced before. The beautifully landscaped gardens, filled with a variety of plants and flowers, add to the charm. The host was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, even when I accidentally misplaced my room key and had to wake him at dawn to open the gate. A truly memorable stay!
Located in a residential neighborhood, the property offers limited opportunities for walking or outdoor activities on-site. Additionally, the pool is situated directly in front of the rooms, which may not be ideal for those seeking more privacy.
Well positioned and Richard is such an excellent host. Breakfast is really beautifully presented and delicious. Most comfy bed we have slept in for a very long time.
Nothing
Super comfortable rooms with all amenities. Lovely pool area to relax. Breakfast was fabulous each day and service from Richard and the team was excellent. Would highly recommend.
Located in a very nice area with beautiful views, the place is very clean and immaculate. The room was big and the bed super comfortable. The location was perfect nearby some very nice wineries, and also next to De Zalze golf. Breakfast was very enjoyable sitting in the beautiful garden.
Everything was peefect
In Cape Vermeer, everything is perfect. Richard is the best host ever, and we love it there. The room right at the pool is spacious; the pool area is super nice. The best is the delicious breakfast, and the stuff is very friendly and caring.
Sorry, there is absolutely nothing to complain about.
Sehr schönes Bed and Breakfast. Geschmackvoll und modern eingerichtete Zimmer. Bequeme Betten, perfekt sauber, grosses Bad, sehr gute Lage in schönem und ruhigem Quartier. Gut gelegen um viele Orte in der Kapregion zu besuchen. Richard hat viele gute Tips, was zu besuchen und wo zu essen und bemüht sich sehr um seine Gäste. Der Pool ist perfekt sauber und das Frühstück im Garten ist wunderbar.
The view is incredible. The breakfasts are delicious (the pastries and croissants were SO fresh), and the attention to detail is impressive. The rooms are beautifully decorated. The glass house where we worked and had breakfast was so quaint and comfortable. The views from there are lovely. Richard and Bart, our hosts, made the stay very memorable and special. They are so professional and welcoming and do everything with excellence. Cape Vermeer will definitely be our go-to place when we stay in that part of the Cape.
Wir hatten eine extrem gute Zeit im Cape Vermeer. Alles ist top und Richard ist ein perfekter Gastgeber.
Friendliness, location
N.A.
This is a #1 Guesthouse. It is easy to see why it gained the Tripadvisor Travellers Choice Best of the Best 2021/22/23! Richard the host was outstanding. He took a personal interest in our enjoyment and satisfaction at the property. The breakfast was outstanding in every respect, with care and attention to the provision of fresh ingredients and freshly cooked dishes. The bed comfort is superior with mattresses that provided excellent support and comfort. Finally, the setting is wonderful with views over False Bay and the Heldeberg Mountain. What more could you ask for.....! We have visited Somerset West for over 20 years and this is by far the best accomodation experience we have enjoyed. We will certainly return.
Nothing!
The breakfast was absolutely fantastic Wonderful, kind and extremely high service level with s personal touch Large, beautiful suite and spectacular view
If you are looking for a peaceful and quiet retreat to explore Cape Town's surrounding coastal and wine areas than look no further. The host Richard (and his friendly staff) are exceptional in looking into all details and providing you a "Home away from home". The thoughts put into the breakfast presentation and quality is second to none. Loved every minute of our stay!
That we had to check out after 5 nights
Had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff’s super friendly, and their restaurant recommendations were spot-on. What stood out was the meticulous attention to detail, making everything feel extra special. The cleanliness was exceptional, and the overall quality of service was top-notch. Highly recommend this gem! 🌟
Hätte nie meine Ferien in diesem Hotel verbracht, wenn ich gewusst hätte dass es im ganzen Areal Rauch verbot ist! Das Rauchen ist nur bedingt ausserhalb vom geschlossenen Areal auf dem Parkplatz und Strasse gestattet.
Very kind host Beautiful property. Very neat! Lovely breakfast
Nothing
Clean, with great designs and superb view. The host was amazing. Definitely going back 🎉🎉🎉
Excellent service, marvelous lookout from the terrace (where we enjoyed breakfast) and an outstanding hospitality by the owner made it the perfect start into our vacation in SA
We were personally welcomed by Richard and had a welcome drink in the garden lounge (with a stunning view). The room, the location, the breakfast, ... everything was simply next level. The eye for details and the genuine hospitality was putting a big smile on our faces. I will for sure recommend Cape Vermeer to friends and family when the travel to the Cape!
Richard was a great host, the room was comfortable and breakfast was excellent.
The breakfast was just perfect. Getting a different basket every morning was a wonderful surprise. the views are extraordinary. The pool area is outstanding. We loved everything there. The stuff is very kind and the host is super charming!
Nothing. All perfect.
The room was absolutely gorgeous and had everything you could possibly need. Richard and all of the team are really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was the best we've ever had - freshly cooked and baked goodies every morning and kindly adapted to suit any dietary requirements. The pool area is lovely and we often had it to ourselves during the day. There's some great wine estates within a short drive as well.
We enjoyed our stay at Cape Vermeer so much for so many reasons! Starting with the beautiful location in serene surroundings and luxurious and comfortable room (with attention to every detail). Furthermore, Richard was an amazing host; very customer friendly and helpful, really top notch! But his staff was also very friendly, with Blessing standing out the most. What a hardworking and cheerful man, he put a smile on your face every time. And last but not least the super tasty breakfast, with lots of fresh products and delicious egg dishes, made by Richard himself. In short, an absolute must! Do not hesitate but do it!
Nothing.
Everything ! Richard the host and his staff were wonderful. The breakfast has to be the best in South Africa with marvellous views ! The room was very luxurious.

Great stay, the team were very helpful, the room was immaculate and we couldn’t have asked for more.
Beautiful place, very lovely people, delicious breakfast, very endeavoured host. Richard always gave us perfect recommendations for food, wine and fun activities.
the hospitality from Richard was beyond exceptional! I booked the stay for my parents and they had nothing but great things to say! they received a warm welcome and the space was very clean as well! they also had massages and from what they say I would definitely recommend!!
nothing
Great location, wonderful rooms, excellent service, one of the best places to stay. Great guesthouse... coming back again!!!
Fantastic appartments, only drawback was that the pool was closed due to the drought.
The room was spacious and most comfortable. The view of False Bay was stupendous - to die for! The owners, Richard and Bart, could not do enough for us and were always available to attend to any issues we had, however small. Not that there were many. All in all it was one of the best stays we have experienced for years. We shall return!
We chose the ocean view room and loved the panoramic views and balcony. Comfy bed. Excellent bath and shower. Richard was an excellent host. Helpful and friendly. Do pay extra for the breakfast. Served in a hamper with variety each day.
Oase der Ruhe in Somerset West, sehr schön gelegen und eingerichtet, Privatheit wird groß geschrieben, leckerer Frühstückkorb steht jeden Morgen vor der Tür, großer Erholungswert, nur Poollandschaft etwas kahl.
Sehr freundliche und kompetente/sehr gute Betreuung vor Ort vom Inhaber persönlich
Cape Vermeer hat modern eingerichtete Apartments mit einem Traumblick auf die False Bay. Die Räume sind modern und mit allem technischen Komfort ausgestattet. Klimanlage, TV, Kaffeemaschine sowie eine wunderbare Dusche tragen zum Wohlgefühl bei. Der Garten ist top gepflegt und man kann dort wunderbar sitzen und den Ausblick genießen. Die Betreuung durch den Besitzer und Carine ist sehr persönlich und angenehm. Das Haus steht in einer sehr guten Wohngegend von Somerset West. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort Urlaub machen.
This place is amazing! The views are spectacular, the interior is great, the bed was super comfortable and the staff were very friendly. We had our own mini kitchen, which was perfect for the one night that we didn't want to go to a restaurant. The stay also included vouchers for breakfast at a restaurant nearby, and that place was awesome as well, serving delicious eggs Benedict. The only downside of Cape Vermeer is that you need your own car (which we had), because nothing will be within walking distance. It is a perfect location for driving to Cape Town, Gordon's Bay or Stellenbosch. We highly recommend staying at Cape Vermeer!
Perfect Location for the Winelands Region. Amazing views of the surrounding area with luxurious accommodations. Highly recommended for a luxury secluded getaway.
