History at the Waterfront

A historic well and former prison cells are incorporated into The Portswood’s lobby and restaurant, while maritime memorabilia contributes to its character. The hotel stands at the entrance to the V&A Waterfront, with harbour walks and the wider Waterfront nearby.

A base for Cape Town days

The City Bowl, Bo-Kaap and Atlantic seaboard can be explored from this base. A Peninsula day towards Cape Point and Boulders Beach adds coastal scenery, while a Table Mountain visit can be planned around suitable weather.

A change of pace after safari

In Bush to City, The Portswood follows Kapama River Lodge. Flights from Hoedspruit to Cape Town may be direct or connecting according to the schedule. Extra Cape Town nights provide room for the Winelands or a slower city stay.
