"This is the fairest cape and the most stately thing we saw in the whole circumference of the globe!"

With these famous words navigator Sir Francis Drake described his visit to the Cape in 1580 on his journey around the world on board the "Golden Hind".

At the cradle of modern South Africa a heartfelt welcome to the historic village of De Waterkant in Greenpoint area.

Situated centrally between the new World Cup stadion, Cape Town Convention Center, Cape Town city and the world renowned V&A Waterfront you will find Cedric's Lodges within easy walking distance.

During the 17th century the current Cedric's lodges was the home of craftsmen and traders from Malaysia and Indonesia. Inge and Jutta have lovingly restored these historic homes with National heritage status into designer lodges.

The perfect combination of historical and modern architecture welcomes guests with it's contemporary design, where the charm and character of days gone by is felt.

Experience Cape Town in our village as the Cape Tonians do. Enjoy a cappuccino at one of the many corner cafes, stroll through the cobblestone streets and dine at one of the many restaurants of the Cape Quarter under the Southern cross of the endless African sky.
