The PortsWood was perfect. We had a large group (77) and the bottom line is they did everything right. Our rooms were ready when we arrived, we had a welcome reception with champagne, and the staff was sooooooooooooo friendly. The hotel is within 100 yards of the V&A Waterfront, where you can shop until you drop and you have an... more

Very reasonably priced, within secure area of the waterfront, which is important. Great staff, good day trips easily arranged to Cape of Good Hope, penguins, baboon walk, others. more

This is a great hotel to make the most of your stay in Cape Town.

We stayed for four nights. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Terrific breakfast. Location is fantastic near the wharf where it is safe to walk around at night and food can be purchased inexpensively. Lovely room and one hour free internet access. more
