Cape Diem Lodge

Beautiful and comfortable property in a great location. All staff are really friendly and helpful, from helping us book tickets to Robben Island to looking after us when my partner got sick. You can walk down the road and there are shops & restaurants right on the doorstep without having to go the waterfront. Felt like a safe area and staff always onsite.

The staff at the Cape Diem were the best ever. From the night porter that welcomed us with a welcome drink and helped get us settled, to the day managers Bianca and Melina that were so attentive and made our stay special. They helped with booking drivers to take us to the Cape of Good Hope, explore the wine country to dealing with a troublesome credit card which had expired. They were incredible hosts and we would stay there if staying in Cape Town again. The breakfasts were made to order, tasty and filling, Wonderful, beautiful;, comfortable boutique hotel that met all of our needs. It was also easily walkable to the Victoria and Alford center with great restaurants and attractions. PERFECT in every way. One of our best stays anywhere

Loved the historical feel of the building (creaky floors included!). The staff were all amazing and nothing was ever too much trouble. Also a lovely, relaxed area to have breakfast every morning😊.

Breakfast's were excellent with plenty of choice and freshly cooked food to order. Lovely coffee! The complimentary Sundowner was also a very nice touch. All staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them which made our stay very comfortable. Daniel & Bianca have an excellent team who looked after us well. We stayed 4 nights initially and then returned for a further 2 nights after travelling further afield and they were happy to store some luggage that we didn't need to take with us. We also took advantage of the Airport transfer arranged by the lodge which worked perfectly.

Absolutely loved our time at Cape Diem Lodge. We arrived late on a Sunday and everything from the communication beforehand letting us know the checking in arrangements, to the warm welcome and the extremely comfortable bed was excellent. Our initial stay was short as we were picked up for a safari the next morning but upon returning to the lodge, we were greeted just as warmly and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of our stay. The location is excellent - close enough to really good bars and restaurants, as well as the V&A Waterfront, but you can still enjoy a tranquil and relaxing time sitting by the pool with a drink, forgetting that you're that close to the hustle and bustle. Breakfast was a definite highlight (the eggs benedict was a particular favourite) and all the staff were so friendly and happy to help with any advice needed. This was our first time in Cape Town and we'll definitely be back, and most certainly will be staying at Cape Diem Lodge when we return.
