First off, be aware that facility names in the De Waterkant area are very confusing. Our taxi driver insisted on dropping us at the Waterkant Village Lodge on Loader Street, which is not the same as the Village Lodge on Napier Street--where we ultimately wheeled our luggage and stayed for a week. There was some confusion with double-booking in their... More

This place really needs some refurbishment. Free internet didn't work,but hotspot in the neighbourhood, 50R for one week per 300MB. Many young people, so be prepared for some noise. But for a price of 750R per room per night in Cape Town you can't expect more I think. Location is very good. In the waterkant area you find a lot... More

We arrived with a large group to find that the pool and roof top bar were closed for a refurb ie the two communal areas that we wanted as a group! They made no effort to contact us and warn us in advance which would have been appreciated. We decided to move on to another hotel and over a week... More

We loved Gary and the Village Lodge. We stayed in the main building for 8 nights and by the end of our stay we felt like we were leaving home. Gary manages the property and does everything in his power to make his guests feel comfortable. The lodge's decor was very modern. The bathroom was great with a fabulous rain... More

We booked two double rooms for the Argus weekend in March 2011 explicitly asking for rooms in the main building on Napier Street while paying a R2,250 deposit by CC. Upon arrival at the lodge, it turned out that we were assigned 2 rooms in a poorly maintained and 800m away house despite our explicit request in writing on the... More

I ended up beginning and ending my trip with the Village Lodge. My first eight days I stayed at the 143 Waterkant room 3 location--it was incredible with private bath and rooftop deck that had incredible views. This was a self-catering spot--but had everything you could possibly want. The location is great also--easy walk to the V&A Waterfront, close to... More

Me and my wife of 1 week stayed at the village lodge as part of our road trip from Port Elizabeth - Cape Town and back. We stayed at a number of B&Bs along the Garden Route on the way to Cape Town & on the way back. This was the most expensive (largley due to being CT of course)... More

Great location, in the heart of Cape Town's gay neighborhood. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, and the hotel was reasonably priced. More
