Cape Diem Lodge

Great location. From start to finish the owners and staff were friendly and attentive. Special mention goes to Bob who was wonderful. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Close enough to walk to V&A water front but in a nice quiet area. Rooms are spacious. Breakfast was good.

We really enjoyed staying at this boutique hotel. It is a short uber from the waterfront and an easy downhill walk to numerous restaurants. The owners are on the property and are hands on with everything. The rooms are large and very clean. Their rates are great as well. Highly recommend.

We stayed at Cape Diem for 4 nights and had a very comfortable stay. We had a lovely welcome from Samuel and all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room was very well equipped but overly bright in the mornings - it could really do with some black out curtains. Breakfast was a little hit & miss. The fresh fruit was often depleted. On the first day my omelette was given to another guest. On 2 occasions my wife's soft poached eggs arrived hard boiled. These things were always rectified but given the limited number of guests it was a little surprising. The location is very quiet and only a short walk from a supermarket & bars. The V&A waterfront is only 10 to 15 minutes walk away.

Our introduction to South Africa began here and what a perfect way to start. This historic house has been modernised with taste, sophistication and understated elegance… we loved it. Our room was spacious with a 2 basin en suite bathroom and such a comfortable bed. It was so peaceful and our sleep was undisturbed. The garden is beautifully landscaped with a lovely pool. Breakfast was taken on the sunny verandah or indoors if preferred and included a cooked breakfast made to order. All the staff, Samuel, Fortune, Melinda, Patience and Bob were super helpful and delightful. And there’s a welcome glass of wine to get you off to the best start! Location for the Waterfront, Table Mountain and getting out to Camps Bay is excellent. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful setting, and fabulous facilities super knowledgeable owner (Bianca) who advised us on trips and stunning restaurants. Perfect location to Cape Town, and amazing facilities. Fabulous staff and beautiful rooms. 15mins walk to the water front and shopping centre.

Found this gem of a place, on our arrival, the welcome of all the Staff and the owner Daniele was fantastic, great location, excellent breakfast and very comfortable room, everyday from 4pm they offer you complementary wine. The manager was Mélina who couldn’t have done more to help us out, she organised for us a private driver and booked an amazing restaurant in a wine estate with glorious views. Also a big thank you to Samuel and everyone working there, we can highly recommend this place
