About Cape Diem Lodge

Nestled on the slopes of Signal Hill and just a short walk from Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, Cape Diem Lodge combines timeless Victorian charm with contemporary boutique style. Built in 1888 as one of the first farmhouses in Green Point, this beautifully restored 5-Star Boutique property offers a warm, elegant retreat in the heart of Cape Town. Each room blends classic character with modern comfort, featuring king-size beds, original Oregon pine floors, Nespresso machines, and flat-screen TVs. Guests can enjoy a homemade breakfast beside the pool on our sun terrace or relax by the open fire in the cozy lounge with a glass of South African wine. Perfectly positioned in vibrant Green Point, Cape Diem Lodge is surrounded by trendy restaurants, cafés, and shops, and is just 1.2 mi from the Cape Town International Convention Center (CTICC).

    Amazing location and staff! They make you feel at home. Specially Bob. Incredibly personable and thoughtful. Our stay exceeded expectations.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Ambiance, staff cordiality ( lodge is small - staff is critical- one in the evening and two for breakfast in the morning). Limited breakfast . Location on a side lonely street.

    Everything!

    Location excellent, staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast also very good. Room nicely appointed. The building is older and although thoughtfully updated, if at all sensitive to noise bring good earplugs.

    Very unique, beautiful and cozy place with a terrific location. The staff were all incredible and so was the breakfast.

    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!
