About the Hotel
Boasting a place of pride on Cape Townâ€(TM)s trendy Victoria & Albert Waterfront, The PortsWood captures the blend of casual and sophisticated spirits that make up South Africa. A cheerful style sets the mood in the guestrooms and suites, while the waterfront location provides an energetic atmosphere. A one-of-a-kind aspect of this Legacy Hotels & Resorts International affiliate is its Quarterdeck Restaurant. Housed in a section of the original Breakwater Prison, which was built in 1860, it blends unique history with the best of Cape Malay cuisine.

A home away from home
Thank you for the pleasant stay. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is a bonus and I hope to be back soon.

Great Location
Excellent location, but unfortunately the hotel has some issues with noise from doors closing. In addition, kitchen smells enter the rooms in the morning, and the hallway becomes filled with cooking odors as if the food was prepared there. We hope the hotel can address these issues to improve the guest experience.

Two beautiful days near to the waterfront.
We came for two days to cape town and I really liked it. The people in the hotel were nice and the room had really all what you needed. It was beautiful. The hotel is very nearly to the water front and the whole location was beautiful.
