On the slopes of Signal Hill this fashionable and historic Bo-Kaap area "De Waterkant Village" dates back to the late 1700’s. The name "Waterkant" originates from the Dutch word meaning "waters edge". Today this bohemian village and National Preservation site is one of Cape Town’s oldest and most attractive residential areas popular with local and international visitors.

Over the last few years "the village lodge", the oldest accommodation company in the De Waterkant Village, has grown into a portfolio comprising of the village lodge with fifteen luxury bedrooms, a five bedroom luxury villa and a selection of luxury fully serviced cottages.

Our Main Lodge is situated in Napier Street, in the centre of the village in a typical Waterkant paved street with the character of the old Cape lifestyle.

The Village is very central located, within walking distance from the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and the CapeTown International Convention Centre. In the immediate neighbourhood are several restaurants (including our own Soho Restaurant), winebars, clubs and theatres.
