Traveller reviews

“Superb”
16 Jan 2025
Everything was fantastic: the location, the wonderful facilities, cleanliness and appearance of the room, the pool, and most importantly, the extremely kind staff. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was also very good! There's also a free sundown drink from 4-6pm poolside.

“Superb”
14 Jan 2025
A lovely boutique guest house with super friendly and helpful staff. We booked the only room available at the time which was the standard queen room with the mezzanine bed space, it was an odd lay out with lots of head bumping and lack of seating or space for 2 people (only 1 chair near the bath) having said that there were doors leading out to the lovely decking area outside where we spent most of our time.

“Nice historic place with good breakfast”
14 Jan 2025
The hotel has a nice swimming pool and rooms are nicely modeled. The building complex has a lot of history, and the hosts share a lot of this in books and pictures. The Eggs Benedict were a highlight. The hotel also offered free Cape wine in the evening. Parking in front was no problem; in theory the garage also is available (was full when we arrived and we just kept the car outside). Location is good: Walking distance 10' to Goodman Gallery, <30' to CBD and Waterfront, 5' uphill to a trail on Signal Hill through the fynbos (and onwards to Liion's Head if you're up for it). In Capetown, you hike in groups for security reasons.

“Perfect place in Cape Town”
12 Jan 2025
We had such a perfect stay at Cape Diem Lodge. Such a beautiful place and full of great, thoughtful touches that made the place so comfortable and special. It’s in a great location to walk down to the waterfront. The staff is amazing and so helpful. And the tea and cake and the breakfast were delicious! We will for sure come back.
