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!

Perfect Stay
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.

Neues Apartment mit Traumblick
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.

Very cosy, amazing views!
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!
