Cape Vermeer

This is a really lovely place to stay with Richard an amazing host. The attention to detail with everything is superb and the breakfast basket is sensational! All this coupled with one of the comfiest beds I have slept in for a long time, resulted a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

We had a lovely stay at Cape Vermeer. Our host Richard welcomed us by arrival and made our stay super comfortable by guiding us, helping us and being available for any kind of questions. The stay was luxurious with a very nice room and excellent breakfast. The location is relaxing in a calm area, close to everything we needed.

We truly enjoyed our stay from beginning to end. The hospitality from Richard and his entire team is exceptionally attentive – you feel welcome from the very first moment. The rooms are beautiful, each with many thoughtful details and its own retreat-like character that instantly creates a sense of comfort. Everything you need for a relaxing stay is provided. They also respond to individual wishes with genuine warmth and care. A big thank you to Richard and the whole team – our time with you was truly restorative. We would love to come back.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at Cape Vermeer. Communication with Richard was fantastic from the minute I booked and any questions we had were answered really quickly. Our room was beautiful, overlooking the bay and the gardens surrounding it were most impressive. We had everything we needed for our stay and the room was really well equipped with also a little kitchen area if you decided to stay in and eat. The bed was lovely and comfortable and the bathroom stunning with a separate toilet. Breakfast is served either on the patio or a lovely summerhouse if the weather is inclement. Such a wonderful way to start the day. The lovely ladies bring out breakfast in a basket which has a large selection of fruit, croissants, muffins and yogurt. You then have a hot choice of the day, the soufflé omelette my husband had one morning was delicious. Richard was there to greet us and every day there to advise places we could visit, where we could eat and the best vineyards to visit as Cape Vermeer is in the middle of some of the best wineries and golf courses in the region.My husband played golf at De Zalze which we can highly recommend. We also ate at Rykaarts restaurant and watched the sun setting. Ubers are easy to get while you’re there so no worries about driving after wine tasting. We cannot thank Richard enough for our wonderful stay and also for ordering my husband a delicious chocolate cake for his birthday which was presented at breakfast with the staff singing Happy Birthday. Thank you and will definitely be back x

**A little piece of paradise on earth!** Our very first visit to Caper Vermeer in Somerset West, South Africa, couldn't have started better – we truly landed in paradise. A 60th birthday celebration I won't soon forget. Our room was beautifully decorated, meticulously cared for in both comfort and style. Breakfast in the lovely spring garden was an absolute highlight; the basket was overflowing with all sorts of delicious treats. Calling an Uber or renting a car was easy and convenient, with all the nearby wine estates within easy reach, of course. And what truly made our stay unforgettable was the warm, genuine hospitality of Richard & Bart from Cape Vermeer – we've never felt so welcome. We'd already read all the tips on the website, and Richard was able to give us a few extras. Without a doubt, a perfect experience. We can not wait to return! Sincerely, Frederique and José Dinten Fernandez

I felt like I was staying in the beautiful, loved home of one of my favourite friends. Amazing staff, delicious food, glorious view, hospitality and generosity and sharing and guidance. Breakfast was a highlight with a surprise package of picnic basket - and an afternoon glass of champagne - overlooking the most beautiful gardens. Richard was a total gentleman, even booking hair and nail appointments for me! I want to stay there for a year and write my book! Thank you so much!
