Superior accommodation in a safe and relaxed setting Originally built as a Convict Station, today The PortsWood is the type of place where you're far more likely to want to extend your stay. Located a mere 22km from Cape Town International Airport, the elegant PortsWood hotel not only offers superior accommodation and a relaxed atmosphere, but a uniquely personal approach to service. This service commitment extends far beyond the leisure traveler to meet the demands of the international business people. Of course, no stay would be complete without one of the Quarterdeck Restaurant's famous breakfasts or traditional Cape Malay dishes before taking the short trip to Cape Town's vibrant Victoria & Alfred Waterfront where a variety of chic boutiques and entertainment venues await.
