Breakwater Lodge, a prison dating from 1901, has been refurbished to offer affordable hotel accommodation as part of the University of Cape Town business school. Originally housing 352 prisoners and based on the design of Pentonville and Millbank prison in England, it now provides guests with a historic home in the heart of Cape Town within easy reach of the main routes to beaches, mountain walks and city “hot spots”.
Operated by Protea Hotels, Breakwater Lodge is perfectly positioned in the heart of Cape Town’s Waterfront Development. There is easy access to a wide variety of restaurants, pubs, shops and entertainment facilities.
