This guest house is very well located because on the one hand it's in a quiet street and on the other hand close to the Waterfront and the City Center. The staff is extraordinarily friendly and helpful in giving advise or recommendations. The interior of the Lodge is very classy and you can definitely see that Daniel (owner) put a... More

Very modern and tidy rooms, bathroom and bedroom connected as one, DVD player with lots of movies to choose from! Excellent service. The pool is nice. The location is very good, close to restaurants, pubs, the lighthouse and the V&A waterfront. Small and quiet street with no disturbances. Close to the Green Point Park.

Unfortunately we may be slightly biased as this is the type of property we would not normally stay in. We were staying in the Radisson Blu for 5 nights but could not get the extra night we needed so we chose Cape Diem for our last night before moving on for the rest of our holiday. We prefer to stay... More

Cape Diem Lodge was our first experience of Cape Town accommodation. We couldn't believe how lucky we were to have chosen it. The owner Daniel has achieved a very stylish, attractive property and he and is staff couldn't do enough to make our stay perfect (without being intrusive). We would definitely stay again and highly recommended it. Breakfast on the... More

Absolutely perfect. The staff was excellent, the room was nicely decorated and clean. Great location in Greenpoint, a few minutes walk to the city centre. Nice garden with a cool quiet atmosphere. We strongly recommend this guesthouse!

We went to Cape Town and fell in love with a city, largely due to the welcome we received at Cape Diem. Its located on a street that is nothing to look at, but as soon as you are buzzed through the customary Cape Town steel gate, you'll know you've made the right choice. The staff are so friendly and... More

Our holidays started off so well by being fetched at the airport by a very charming lady in a red (!) jaguar. When we arrived at the lodge we were welcomed by the owner himself and were immediately offered a refreshing drink. The accommodation met all our expectations, all the amenities you may expect from a 5 star establishment were... More

It is gently attached to the lower slopes of Signal Hill, overlooking the Bay, Blouwberg Strand, Robben Island and the VA Waterfront and only minutes away from the cities major attractions.Our idea to “relaunche” and converte this victorian jewel from early 1900, in one of Cape Towns most thought after positions, into a luxurious meeting point for friends from around the world, came with a blink of an eye.

Our motto: contemporary design in historical surroundings!In the heart of the house, you’ll be able to relax in our cosy and elegant lounge.
