Dock House Boutique Hotel

We've just left The Dock House hotel on our tour of SA. We couldn't fault it. The attention by the staff was excellent. Room was spacious and nicely presented. Special shout out to Oswell, who always welcomed you with the biggest smile and his willingness to help. We had breakfast, which was very good, but cannot comment on the evening meals as we preferred to head out for the evenings. Its location is excellent for access to the Waterfront and the Dock House itself is steeped in history. A very enjoyable visit.

We arrived early as our flight landed at 7am , this is a busy time on the road into Cape Town. On arriving at the Hotel ( you use the reception of the Queen Victoria which is next door) every member of staff is friendly and beyond helpful , never over bearing.( we did have to wait for our room but our luggage was stored we were offered breakfast and we got to relax on sun beds by the pool.|The Dock House is a heritage building and has the most lovely garden, pool and outside lounging area . It’s surrounded by tall hedging and this gives it a ‘secret garden’ feel when the wonderful V&A Waterfront is just down the steps ( you can hear the buskers , which is very pleasant)|Our room was so well appointed ( we didn’t want the front ) so our room (6) was perfect! Excellent shower,bath , super comfortable bed. |Breakfast you have the choice to eat where you want including the lovely breakfast room in Dockhouse, perfect eggs Benedict!! |The manager of Dockhouse is so friendly and helpful, actually every member of staff was amazing!!!|I would absolutely recommend staying here, you really get to experience the best CapeTown has to offer.

Phenomenal hotel. We greatly enjoyed our stay here. Rooms- huge room, nice views, and the added balcony is a massive plus. Everything was very luxurious. Some other commentators noted the finishing is a bit worn, this is so minor that it doesn’t detract from the room quality. Location- couldn’t be better. Walking distance from V&A, and most importantly, very safe. Service- exceptional. Ashley, the breakfast attendant, was truly lovely and made a visible effort to brighten our mornings. Great breakfast too. Spa- awesome massages. We wished we had booked more treatments here. Other amenities- beautiful pool area with awesome views of table mountain. We will definitely stay here again on our next trips to CT.

What a find!! Staying at The Dock House is an amazing experience. From the minute we checked in everything was perfect. The staff were friendly and our room absolutely wonderful. The décor was tastefully done and fitted the building perfectly. A huge bedroom with seating area along with a luxurious very large bathroom. The seating on our private balcony overlooking the pool and grounds was a lovely spot to soak up the atmosphere of the waterfront which was across the road. An abundance of bars and restaurants along with a shopping centre and also most tours and attractions are a short walk. A G&T by the pool was refreshing after a day of exploring before heading over the way for dinner. Breakfast was offered at The Victoria and Alfred across the road also which we enjoyed one morning but preferred the intimacy of the Breakfast Room at The Dock House and breakfast was great served by Ashleigh who was a joy and who also took care of the fresh floral arrangements on the tables which were gorgeous. We only had 4 nights at this wonderful property so will definitely be back such a great city really needed another week. Thank you to all the staff who made our stay fabulous. We look forward to seeing you on our next visit. Jane and Grant.

There are only 5 rooms in this boutique hotel and we stayed in a luxury suite which was massive and amazing. Large living room, separate large bathroom and (again!) large bedroom with king bed. Nice little patio area off the bedroom. The living room fronts onto the hotel pool and sun loungers. We only stayed 2 nights but had a fabulous time. At checkin, we were escorted to the suite by the receptionist and our cases were delivered promptly.|Breakfast was included and consisted of a lovely small continental selection and (to order) hot breakfast of any type you like. I had the eggs Benedict which were fantastic.|Hotel is a short walk from the V&A Waterfront shops, bars, restaurants etc.|Felt completely safe with lots of security staff present all the time.|Lovely stay.|Thanks to Ashley for the personalised breakfast service but also to all the staff for their care and attention.|Well worth the money (it was expensive)|Recommend the Pier restaurant for fine dining and Harbour House for less formal dining.

The highlights were the high standard of accommodation and the lovely staff. We enjoyed the close proximity to the waterfront during the day however it was a different story at nighttime. Back the positives...everything about the hotel was exceptional and its 5 star rating thoroughly deserved. Equally the staff were an absolute credit to the Newmark brand. The manager Jason - nothing was too much trouble. The cat-loving Oswell welcoming us - such a lovely man. Ashley the "florist" - keeping the Dock House in perfect working order. ||Now to the downside...due to the close proximity to the waterfront, the music from the local bars kept us awake until 2am. This would be fine if you are nightowls but unfortunately meant two very sleepless nights for us. ||We can't be the only guests to experience this and our only criticism of our stay was not to have been informed about this. I'm sure there were quiet rooms in the main hotel away from the lift and the noise of the waterfront.

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights in the Dock House. Our room was absolutely beautiful! The high ceilings, fireplace and luxurious bathroom were lovely. We loved the convenient location and ability to walk to dinner or to the shops on the water front. The best part of the Dock House was Ashley! He took the best care of us each morning during breakfast. He truly elevated our experience and we so appreciated his kindness and conversation in the mornings! Thank you Ashley, for making our stay unforgettable!

This is a Victorian colonial building that has been turned into a small boutique hotel and it’s gorgeous ||||The rooms are excellent and they nance a great spa and gym ||||The pool area is small but perfectly formed and a tranquil area with the buskers music floating in over the hedgerows where Clayton’s bar staff deliver drinks with style and a smile ||||Breakfast is served in a small dining room overlooking the garden and what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in quality ||||Service is unimpeachable and I would return in a heartbeat ||||The location is to die for
