We had a wonderful 3 night stay at this beautiful country inn set in a pretty vineyard. The rooms are beautiful along with common spaces. Lovely fireplace and breakfast room. Everything was delicious and freshly made. The omelet is incredible. Very easy by Uber from Capetown airport or downtown/pier areas. The Inn is a few minutes walk from the cute and elegant town. Treat yourself to this beautiful inn and country town. Dino and staff are great.

Look no further. Amazing home-from-home
I had a truely amazing time at Cap Vue. I was made to feel very welcome during my 4 night stay. The rooms are very comfortable, each with a private patio. I felt very secure. I spent several evenings by the log burning stove relaxing in the shared areas which felt like an extension of my room. I really felt at home here. And the grounds (including the vines) are beautiful for a stroke with a coffee post-breakfast. The wifi is adequate for video calls (I had around 10-20 Mb/s). My days were spent remote working from this idilic place. I made use of the honesty bar in the late afternoon as the sun catches the mountains. Their own wine is lovely and the views… incredible. Highly recommended

Wonderful boutique hotel
Wonderful hotel in a great location just outside Franschhoek but still with an easy and short walk in to the city center. Very charming hotel and rooms with a French boutique feel. There is a lovely garden with a courtyard for eg breakfasts and a very nice swimming pool overlooking the vineyards. Highly recommended, would love to come back.

Perfect!
Beautiful place, I would definitely stay again! Stunning setting, pool, everything tastefully decorated and every room feels so private but cosy in the same time. We were treated like royalty. Lovely touches like honesty bar and free sherry. Comfy beds and gorgeous bathroom with nice toiletries. Thank you to the chap who checked us in and the owner for being so welcoming. We will be back!

Visited in Nov 2019 during summer. Great views, walking distance to Franschhoek town centre, secure parking and compound, large and clean rooms. It is a must to try their breakfast, and do make the most of their common lounging areas and the outdoor pool. One tiny downside is the weak pressure and fluctuating temperature for the shower. But we’re way out from a city area, so it is understandable.

A very special home. Intimate boutique hotel which is well kept. An idyllic vista in spectacular countryside surrounded by mountains. Great location on the edge of town. Quiet but safe. Basil, Dino, Mercia and the team are accommodating and welcoming hosts. Overall this is a part of heaven on earth.

The Cape Vue Country House is absolutely beautiful, set in the center of the mountains, with an on site vineyard and just a minute to the center of town. Basel and Dino were wonderful and were so welcoming! Our room was just lovely, with high end furnishings and linens, as well as a private patio with a spectacular view. The breakfast was top notch, set in the most tastefully decorated room with roaring fireplace. Do not hesitate to visit!
