The staff are absoluteky wonderful and very friendly and cannot do enough for you. There is a private walk way to the V&A waterfront and plenty of visible security all making it a very safe area to stay. However a point to note they had decorators in and around certain rooms so unfortunately there was a mild paint smell which was coming into the rooms which could annoy other potential guests. An open window certainly got rid of it.

Staff was amazing. Breakfast was very good. Other meals we had were very good. Room was very clean. Transportation from airport was well worth it. Wi-fi worked well. Pool looked really nice it was cold & windy while there so did not get to use it. Only thing was the bathroom in room is open concept and would have preferred to have had walls instead of sheer curtains. That is just us. Would I stay again absolutely! The area is on the waterfront and easily accessible.

A great location for easy walk to the waterfront keys areas. All staff were delightful and very helpful if we needed any help. Breakfast was a very nice selection and egg station. We had one evening meal in the restaurant which again was very good. Thanks for a great 2 night stay. Room was exactly what we needed and you would expect.

The PortsWood was the perfect location for a visit to Cape Town. From the minute we arrived the staff made us feel special. Upon entering our room, we were delighted with the cleanliness and amenities. The location was just perfect and we were able to see the waterfront area from our room. everything was just steps away. I highly recommend staying at the PortsWood
