Exquisite… what a wonderful stay at Cape Vermeer which exceeded all our expectations. The hosts and staff and the attention to detail are exceptional. The breakfast in the idyllic gardens with panoramic mountains views…. You have to experience it yourself as my review does not give it full justice. Your breakfast egg surprise dish will have you setting your alarm clock early, so you don’t miss what is the breakfast of breakfasts. Expertly served with precision by Richard, Blessings and the whole team. You will be so relaxed after a breakfast full of treats. We found the attention to detail 5 star. I don’t want to spoil your fun in finding all the little details that make a stay here a must. Rarely do we say to an owner that we will be back for sure, however I think we just joined the long list of repeat visitors . Thank you all at Cape Vermeer you made our South Africa trip special. See you all again !!! …

Property's Favourite Review
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!!

This accommodation is more than 5 stars! The studio is equipped with everything you need, even a small kitchen, nicely hidden behind doors. Super beds and pillows, bathroom with all amenities you need. The studio is beautifully decorated, good chairs to sit during the evening and read a book. Furthermore and most important the warm welcome from Richard, his time to have a chat with you and to provide you with information about good restaurants, day trips and wineries. The breakfast was amazing, home cooked and every day a new surprise in the basket. The staff is very well trained, nicely uniformed and super friendly and willing to assist you. This accommodation is clean, beautiful, safe and has amazing views over the bay.

Cape Vermeer / Host: Richard We had an excellent stay at Cape Vermeer. Richard was an outstanding host; always responsive, attentive and flexible in relation to our program. The facilites & rooms were very clean. In the bedroom mineral water, coffee capsules and milk was refilled every day and fresh towels if needed. Our high-light was the breakfast basket we ate on a sunny day outside. Richard made every day a special egg version: my favorite was the egg-soufflee and the muffin form with bacon. Richard is a gourmet. You always can ask him for a fine dining restaurant or a special wine tasting. We are convinced you will spend memorable days at Cape Vermeer as we did in November 2023. We felt more than welcome. Many thanks to Richard and his very friendly Team. M+W from Switzerland. …

Just, wow! This was our second time staying at Cape Vermeer. It felt like coming home. Everything about Cape Vermeer is just right. The rooms are spacious, the views are breathtaking, the beds are just so plush, big and comfortable, the room well equipped and the bathroom is so well designed. But that's just the room. The breakfast is out of this world. Everyday is a surprise (in a good way) and Richard and his team will go out of their way to make it YOUR breakfast with the items you love. Presented in a cute picnic basket. You can either have that outdoors in the garden if weather permits, or in the garden pod. That garden pod also has a fireplace and nice sofa, if the weather is a bit cooler and you still want to read for a bit and take in the views over the bay and mountains. From Cape Vermeer you'll have easy access to all wine estates in the region. Have you visited before and would you like something new? Your host Richard will tell you all about his recent discoveries and hidden gems. Book Cape Vermeer, you won't regret it. And Richard, we'll definitely be back! Thanks again.…
