We went down to Cape Town to participate in the 2026 Cape Cycle Tour and decided to stay closer to the start and finish lines. We stayed at the Protea Breakwater Lodge a few times before and found it to be perfect. We'll probable do the same in 2027.

Spectacular team: attentive and helpful. Excellent location. The rooms were clean, but here is the area for improvement: they are very cramped. The double bed was exceptionally small—it felt like a large single bed. Also, the photo of the room we booked was quite different from the room we actually received.
