I was not at all impressed by Cape Diem Lodge, which was disappointing as I had chosen it on the basis of some very good Tripadvisor reviews. Our room layout was designed more with profit in mind than comfort, I suspect. In the main body of the room there was no seating area, limited space for relaxation or storage and,... More

What a very nice questhouse with super kind people! We had a beautifull room with acces to the swimmingpool. In our nice decorated room there was everything we needed, music, dvd, a good Nespresso machine, a very nice 'open' bathroom and a super bed! Accually we came for the Cape Argus bicycle tour. That was a beautifull and very specail... More

After we arrived, we were surprised to find that we had been put into a different room than the one described to us when we booked. We eventually met the owner (Daniel) and pointed out the differences in what we had booked (we had the details in an email that he wrote himself) and how disappointed we were to find... More

Cape Diem is located in a nice, quiet side street and is within walking distance to Cape Town harbour fromt. The rooms are lovely and the owner, Daniel, very nice and helpful. We enjoyed our stay there very much and would definitely choose to stay there again if we return to Cape Town.

We wanted to stay in a small hotel with a central position during our vacation at Cape Town. We found the most beautiful place in Green Point, the Cape Diem Lodge with a walking distance to the Waterfront (10 minutes) and the City Center (15 minutes). The guest house and its rooms are tastefully equipped. Outside you'll find an eyecatching... More

We wanted a small hotel of excellent standard and that's exactly what we got. Daniel (owner) and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We sort of knew what we wanted to see but Daniel provided extra info and booked trips for us that more than exceeded our expectations (from Whale watching to visiting a local township - small intimate...

During our holiday in South Africa, we stayed 2x 5 days in this hotel. It's on walking distance to the V&A Waterfront, which is convinient for having diner in the evening. The hotel is run by a German guy, who is very enthousiastic in helping you finding your way in Cape Town and surroundings. It's situated in an old Victorian... More

I recently won an all expense paid trip to Cape Town which included a 4 night stay at the 5-star Cape Royale hotel. My wife and I decided to add on a few nights to the trip and I found the Cape Diem Lodge while browsing through the internet. What a great find!! Although it is not your typical 5-star... More

This place is something special. No misrepresenations and all other reviews are accurate. It is a little difficult to navigate to the waterfront, or was at the point of our stay in October 2009, due to the construction occurring for the World Cup. Nonetheless the hotel exceeded our expectations. The manager was even kind enough to drive us to the... More
