pe Veu As soon as you drive through the big metal gates onto the winery to the beautiful country estate, it feels like home. The house is spacious and tastefully decorated. As you pass through the dinning room you get to the lounge that has those huge comfortable chairs and sofa with breathtaking view of the winery and the majestic mountains. There is also a coffee station and a small bar set up, run on a honor system. Our room (#5) was spacious and had everything we could need for our stay. From every window and our patio we had the most amazing of the mountains that change color about every 3-4 hours. It’s so fantastic. The bed is very comfortable with good quality pillows. Our patio was leading out to a small orchard and it was so beautiful. During the day we sat in the garden and enjoyed the sun, or we laid out by the pool or late afternoon when it got a bit chilly, we relaxed in the lounge and read a book. The property is a short 10min walk into town to many fabulous restaurants and coffee shops. The staff is very friendly, caring and attentive

There was nothing I could complain about and we nearly spend a week there

Cape Vue is such a beautiful little oasis in a perfect location, nestled right under the mountains--great views! The hotel and grounds are lovely, very peaceful feeling. I appreciated the little touches like a Nespresso machine and little cookies in the room, a bottle of wine, and they even had little pool coverups and bathrobes. I met Basil the next morning at breakfast and he was very enthusiastic and welcoming. Breakfast was nice, I ate out on the terrace. I was there Easter weekend and it felt a bit like a ghost town at the B&B, very quiet (there were at least a couple other people staying there), but for me that is a positive. You could walk into the town to get food, though I ended up driving as the weather was a bit unpredictable. Wifi worked fine, bathrooms were great, beds were comfy.

There were no major issues at all, everything was good. My welcome tour was a bit perfunctory, I think there are people there at night for security but it's not like there is a 24-hour reception desk or anything if that's what you're looking for. Wifi out on the grounds was iffy but I mostly made it work.

We stayed in the honeymoon suite and the views of the pool and the mountains were spectacular. The room itself was spacious and elegant, and the bed was of the most comfortable we've ever had the pleasure of sleeping in. The breakfast each morning was fabulous! Lounging poolside on the comfy deck chairs in the sunshine with a glass of South African wine overlooking the vines was nothing short of heaven. The staff were attentive and friendly, but not overbearing. The location was also brilliant being just a short walk from the village.

It was quite pricey compared to a lot of other properties in the area. Having said that though, everything was fabulous so worth the money.

Our second time staying at Cape Vue - we couldn’t wait to visit again and it didn’t disappoint. Gorgeous breakfast each morning with lots of selection. The most stunning views, well kept pool and pool area. So relaxing and stunning to sit out and relax. 10/10 comfort of the bed - we remembered this well from last time. Comfiest bed/pillows in the world! Hosts very welcoming and friendly. Gorgeous selection of high-end body wash, lotion, shampoo etc. All natural and smell amazing! Super close (literally a 5 min walk) to the main town where all the restaurants and shops are.

Everything was great. Only thing if I had to say, last time we booked the same type of room and paid the same price but this time our room was much smaller and we were a little sad to not have the larger room with more space. Ours was a little cramped with 2 big suitcases out. (We stayed in 5 last time and this time room 6).

What can I say! The most beautiful property in the most amazing setting. Felt like a home from home. The most welcoming team to greet up and felt like we were staying with family. Suck a welcoming place and we loved the free range style of hosting with the help yourself bar and relaxed atmosphere. We loved our stay and already looking into dates we can come back for a longer visit!

Nothing. Wouldn’t change a thing.

Very comfortable room, friendly and helpful staff and the most excellent mountain views from the pool. We loved being close enough to walk to the main street for food/drinks. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again, we had a brilliant stay! Met great other guests and even got invited to two of their weddings! An excellent base for exploring the area in Gary Barlow’s footsteps…

Charming house on the edge of Franschoek. Staff friendly and very helpful. The most beautiful view from the back verandah over hills. 5 - 10 min walk into town with terrific restaurants and even live jazz in a bar, also 10 min drive to national park with beautiful walks.

Our room and probably most of the others a bit dark with no view as trees in front - just one room on the end with a verandah with views. However, not really a problem as charming verandah and garden outside with lovely views. I smoke the odd cigar and smokers banished to uncomfortable metal chairs in the garden with no table - could easily have allowed smoking outside on the verandah with comfortable chairs and brilliant vista!

The attention to detail was outstanding. Quality bedlinen, comfortable mattress and soft feather pillows. We had the most restful night sleep which is the highest praise I can give since I usually struggle to sleep without my own pillow from home when travelling. The fluffiest quality bath towels and bath sheets in the bathroom, and beautiful cotton bathrobes and my favourite africology bathproducts in the bathroom made me feel like I was in a spa! Quality finishes everywhere - bath fittings, wallpaper, furniture, carpeting, window treatments. A spacious shower with a generous shower head spray and thoughtful extras such as a non-slip mat, shower caps, extra vanity essentials, homemade biscuits, nespresso machine, a selection of Twinings teas, generous sized mugs, fresh milk, complimentary wine and water. All these extras and attention to detail made the stay feel absolutely luxurious. The views were stunning and the garden is beautifully maintained. Breakfasts were outstanding and the staff were all very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be back again! Thank you!

Honestly, I am hard pressed to find anything that was unsatisfactory. It was all wonderful.

We loved our stay at Cape Vue and we are planning a return later this year. A lovely welcome from Dino and a very pretty room. Hugh quality linens and bathroom products, peaceful quiet sleep. The location was fabulous both for the short walk to town, or watching the mountains from the pool area. Service and breakfast was first class. We used our car and Uber whilst visiting vineyards as well as the lovely wine tram. No

More loungers round the pool would be appreciated, but I understand some were on order.

This was our second time here and we liked it just as much as the first time! The room was not particularly large but was equipped with everything we needed and the whole house is lovingly decorated and has a very nice atmosphere. The house bar is excellently stocked at very fair prices - definitely worth a try! We particularly liked the fantastic, spacious garden and the small pool deck with a scenic view of the mountains - perfect for relaxing in between. We would love to come back!
