It's a beautiful place to help one unwind. The room I was in was amazing and the service was good. It's not easy to locate the lodge is the street which is in is not listed on the map(Which I got from the help desk at V&A Waterfront).

Right in the Eclectic Area of Capetown with lovely reastaurants and bars. Very helpful staff in a refurbished Colonial era House. Great Double room, though small was excellently furbished with all amenities and modern shower and accessories. Breakfast was included at a nice full service reastaurant just down the street so you could enjoy anything and just pay the extra.... More

Everything about the Altona was just right - it's location, close (but not too close to be noisy) to Main Road in the Green Point area, the building, wonderful rambling old colonial era house and garden, excellent breakfast, and the owner/manager Peter bent over backwards to help with every request. Very highly recommended.

Close to the stadium in Greenpoint and V&A Waterfront with helpful guests and owners. Recommended if you're visiting Cape Town and need a place to stay. Everything was so central (well within walking distance) and the beds are very comfy.

After staying three nights in greatly reviewed hostel on Long street and being very disappointed, we head to Altona Lodge. From the first impression, we booked a double room with a shared bathroom for a week. The room was superb. The room included a bed, tv, sink and a fan. The bed was really comfortable, linen clean and the room... More
