“A beautiful homely, spacious house, perfect for large families; well-equipped and with superb staff.”
The location was perfect for us. Close to everything we wanted to do during our stay. The house is beautifully decorated and appointed; the kitchen is very well equipped; the staff are superb and helpful; the house is spacious with a number of lovely sitting areas and a big table for our family dinners! Bedrooms and bathrooms are all lovely, with options of size of beds and baths and/or showers and many opening on to a balcony or a courtyard

“10/10 - Dream house for creating lasting family memories”
Returned from a family celebratory stay at Vivere and WOW! The house exceeded all our expectations in terms of size, location and facilities. Every room is absolutely stunning with enough living space and equipment to allow all 11 of us to live in absolute comfort for the week(kids included). The house is immaculate, many thanks to Gerald for that and everything else he done for us during our stay. Location wise, you couldn't pick a better spot for exploring Hermanus being only a short 5min walk to restaurants, shops, and amazing scenery. Absolutely recommend Vivere to anyone reading these reviews. Book and you won't regret! I hope my family will return in the not too distant future. It was perfect Thank you so much Margot

“Vivere was as described and very well equipped.”
Vivere is walking distance to the town centre and shops, cafes, etc. The location is fairly quiet though there was a new home being built at the bottom of the garden and during weekday working hours this generated constant noise and intermittent lorries and cement mixing disturbance. The house is vast and lovely, beautifully furnished and decorated. There is no shortage of equipment for self catering The 4 day housekeeper kept to himself and did the basics. Louise, who came in on hs day off, was a little trojan, completing many of the maintenance tasks.

“Absolutely Exceptional”
The most sublime house, genuinely we was blown away by how beautiful it was. Its one of the very few places in life you will stay that looks even better in real life than the promotional photos show. It’s a massive house and we spent the time planning to come back with our family. Truly grateful to this family for allowing us to stay in their home. Don’t hesitate to book this house if you’re staying in Hermanus.
