The hotel is like a beautiful, small but cosy, mansion. Every little detail is well chosen and interesting here. Good choise of breakfast -some choices of eggs with bacon and fruits. It is appx 15 minutes on foot to the V&A. The area is safe and green.

Everything about the Cape Diem Lodge was exceptional! We had such a wonderful stay there. Bianca, Daniel, and Samuel, along with the rest of the staff, were incredible. They were so kind and helpful, and gave us wonderful tips for where to eat, things to see, and fun, more local spots to visit. And all their suggestions were awesome and spot on! The property itself is perfect. Beautifully designed and styled, and incredibly clean and comfortable as well. We had the large room in the front, I believe room 5, and it was super spacious and the light that came in was awesome. The bed was so comfortable, and we had three amazing nights sleep there. Also, the shower was wonderful and hot throughout, and we had all of the amenities and creature comforts we could need. Plus, the breakfast were always great, and everyone was so lovely, making sure we always had whatever we needed. There is car parking available, and the location is fantastic. It’s a short block to a bunch of restaurants, and the V&A waterfront is also in walking distance. I would highly recommend a stay here if you are visiting Cape Town, and want a beautiful, chic, comfortable, and convenience place to stay where everything is top-notch! We loved it! Absolutely wonderful place to stay in Cape Town!

My wife and I had an absolutely incredible stay at Cape Diem Lodge in early May 2025. Booking was easy, and staff were responsive leading up to our stay with questions like what outlets they had for charging devices. It’s a 20 minute Uber from the airport and a 5 minute Uber from the waterfront. I think it’s possible to walk (and relatively safe in the daytime) but we never did because Uber was so easy and inexpensive. We liked how the hotel was a bit tucked away from the busy street. It also feels very secure, with a large locking gate. You enter a stunning courtyard and beautiful old main building. The breakfast area inside and around the pool is relaxing. Our room was very comfortable. While the bathroom could’ve used a little more love and care, it was clean and still nice. While the hotel is beautiful, what makes this place special is the staff. They are incredibly warm and helpful. They are there for whatever you need. We had not planned anything for our trip but the staff helped us find a driver in the morning to take us to Cape Point and all around for the day. Exceptional customer service! The breakfast was also delicious, and the atmosphere is perfect. We wish we could’ve stayed longer!

My booking was last-minute, yet the experience felt highly personalised. The room was flawless with every need thought out in detail. Daniel (the owner) and his team were approachable and went out of their way to offer perfect service. Thank you

From the minute we arrived, we were made to feel welcome. All of the staff were fabulous, with a special mention for Bob, the night manager. The breakfast was delicious, the room comfortable and spotlessly clean.
