We were pleasanty surprised with our stay at Villa Vista. All the home luxuries, beautiful view, peaceful, easy access to many tourist attractions. The hostess pays attention to detail and ensures a warm and friendly welcome. I will definitely go back, just to sit and enjoy the view. Thanks for the comfortable and clean units! Heidi C

Very comfortable and clean room, and the whole place felt very safe and secure. She is looking forward to a return... More

Villa Vista was the perfect accommodation choice for our trip to Somerset West. It is in a peaceful and stunning location set high in the suburbs overlooking the Strand with sea views in the distance. With a hire car at our disposal we were only 2 minutes from the shops and 5 minutes from Somerset West town and had excellent... More

In a beautiful safe, quiet spot in Somerset West, Villa Vista gives you all the home comforts you need in a comfortable and clean self-catering unit, with stunning views and looking onto a beautiful garden. Everything you need is on hand; Jake will even bring you a bucket of ice if you run short! Definitely a place to return to.

We have just returned from 18 glorious days in South Africa. We were so lucky to find the fabulous Villa Vista. It certainly lives up to its name with stunning views over the Indian Ocean with the Helderberg Mountains in the background. The accommodation was excellent with a huge bedroom, ideal kitchen, dining area and large lounge. There was a... More

We stayed here for five nights and wished for more. Villa Vista is an amazing place to stay with the largest very well equipped rooms ever and superb views to the sea and mountains from the beautiful garden. It is a great place to relax with a large pool with sun loungers and a well furnished thatched braii. All this... More

We have spent three holidays of several weeks at Villa Vista to escape from England's winters and have thoroughly enjoyed each one. The two units are very comfortable, well-serviced and well equipped. The larger unit is more than spacious with a wonderful balcony, the smaller unit is ideal for short stays or the two units together make it ideal for... More

Villa Vista was ideal for our needs. The setting is absolutely beautiful with stunning views down to Gordon's Bay and beyond. The sunsets just had to be seen and photographed. We were looking for a mini escape for a week using Somerset West as our base. We were made so very welcome and the Niehaus' provided us with more than... More
