Richard and his team made everything to give us a very „home feeling“.The breakfast in the garden with the view to Capetown,was really special.The creations of different kind of eggs and the bacon was wonderful. Clean room with space und the non slippery Shower and bathroom made me very happy. Cape Vermeer is based in a very fine area with sufficient parking opportunities. Bookings and suggestions for restaurants were very helpful done by Richard. Enough good Golf Courses and Restaurants in the vineyards in ca.15 minutes reachable. See You next February 2025

We stayed in this wonderful and unique place for 2 weeks, in a very beautful setting, with a marvelous view on the one hand to Helderberg and on the other hand to the sea.The rooms are stylishly furnished,the beds exeptionally good, attention is paid to the smallest details.The breakfast is varied ( above all the hommade Granola )and is served in a beautiful manicured garden. The staff is also extreme friendly.This accommadtion leaves nothing to be desired and if it does, Richard - the perfekt host-makes the impossible possible. I recommand this to everyone!!

Cape Vermeer is a first class guesthouse. The apartments are of very high quality and in new construction condition. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The owner is a great host. One of the best guesthouses we have seen so far in South Africa.

Dear Sussanne, Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to leave your feedback. We appreciate your comments regarding the windows in the room. Please know that we do have two large windows and one in the bathroom that can be opened for fresh air. Had you mentioned this during your stay, we would have been more than happy to assist you in operating them. Regarding the air conditioning during load shedding, we apologize for any inconvenience caused. However, we're pleased to inform you that our solar panels and lithium backup ensure that all other electricity, apart from the AC, continues to function during load shedding, allowing us to provide a comfortable stay. We're delighted that you enjoyed our daily homemade breakfast in the basket. We understand that the experience may vary depending on the room, and we appreciate your feedback. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again in the future. Richard and the Cape Vermeer Team

Staying at Cape Vermeer was a very special experience. Richard was an exceptional host with a genuine interest in our experience and comfort. The service level was outstanding and the breakfast was superb - yes superb. The breakfast basket was different everyday and the freshly cooked dishes were imaginative and delicious. This was a chance to experience a very special guesthouse were the attention to detail and cleanliness were great. The mattress comfort provided an excellent nights rest after a busy day in the winelands. The views over False Bay and the Heldeberg Mountain were splendid. Location provided opportunities to visit vineyards, golf courses and wonderful restaurants. A very special experience in comfortable guesthouse with exceptional high standards.

A quiet and beautiful small guesthouse with all facilities, located in a lovely neighbourhood. The place is nestled in the green hills overlooking Cape Town and the ocean.Great staff and a very attentive host. Breakfast superb and a small kitchenette allows for self catering if you wish. Rental car is advisable but we did our trips with Uber and also works well. I have been to many nice boutique hotels in different parts of the world and can assure that this is a top place!
