My stay at Cape Diem Lodge was wonderful overall, but there were a few drawbacks. The location is excellent, near the V&A Waterfront, and the breakfast was delicious. However, my room was quite noisy early in the morning, which affected my sleep. Despite that, the warm staff and beautiful surroundings made my experience enjoyable.
