From its Portswood Ridge vantage point, the Breakwater Hotel commands a bird’s eye view of the restored harbour, and forms part of the Breakwater Campus of the University of Cape Town’s Graduate School of Business. The function venues are technologically advanced and equipped with modern state of the art audio-visual equipment, to facilitate virtually any type of conference or function.

The Breakwater Hotel has been impressively remodelled, though the essence of its historical design has been retained. It now offers a total of 300 bedrooms.

The prison building also accommodates the GSB’s offices, lecture theatres, function venues and seminar rooms.

The Breakwater Lodge has recently celebrated the launch of yet another conference venue - the Graduate Room.

This new executive meeting room, conveniently situated above the hotel's exclusive a la carte restaurant, increases the total number of venues to 62.

The plushly furnished Graduate Room has a large central boardroom table, comfortably accommodating ten delegates, a mini-bar, audio-visual facilities and air conditioning.

The attraction of The Breakwater Lodge as a conferencing facility has been enhanced by the proximity to the V&A Waterfront, the prestigious association with UCT's Graduate School of Business, and the economic pricing of room hire and catering at the myriad of venues. In the case of the Graduate Room, these attractions are augmented by the fantastic views of Table Mountain and the Alfred Basin.

The Breakwater Lodge Events Department offers a full range of venues, catering options and audio-visual equipment at cost effective rates. Ample parking facilities are also available to all conference delegates.
