Everything was great.

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

Everything it’s so beautiful. So much thought has been put into to the house. Anything you want it’s there. Plus the lovely Gerald is there each day.

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

Stunning property in an excellent location. Very spacious and an ideal holiday place with family or friends. Easy 10 minute walk to restaurants and shops. Gerald is a lovely guy, and very helpful if needed.

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.

The weather wasn't good, but that's something no-one can change

This house has an extra: Gerald! He is so nice and helpful. The house is perfect. Nice spaces to be together and also enough space to have some privacy.

The property was situated minutes from central Hermanus in a quiet street. The house was stunning with amazing furnishings and attention to detail. Facilities were first class and with the addition of the lovely Gerald who was on hand to assist with the day to day running of such a large house... he was very helpful to us during our stay. Margot our host was extremely helpful and responsive and facilitated our check in with ease. A rating if possible would be 12/10 .

The house is beautiful, spacious and incredibly well equipped. Ideal for our large family get together. The position is great…walking distance to shops,restaurants and the cliff path.

The pool was not usable on arrival, being green with algae, despite the housekeeper telling us the house had been used the previous week and was 'alright then'. After 2-3 days and visits from the pool maintenance firm's owner, it was finally cleaned and the Ph balanced and remained clean and clear for the rest of our 14 day stay. The water was never particularly warm so spending time in the pol for physio was a chore, not a pleasure. The pool gets sun most of the day but there are only 2 loungers as shown i the photographs. There are also only 2 comfortable chairs for sitting outside. However, the house can accommodate 10. Not sure where they'd sit outside.

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.
