Dock House Boutique Hotel

Pleasant heritage style hotel, as the name suggests. Very handy location for a vacation stay or extended layover in travels. Excellent staff in all aspects. Ashley, the breakfast attendant, not only ensured we enjoyed breakfast but also was very helpful in providing local knowledge to assist our daily ventures. A feeling of safety prevails over the whole property. The car parking facilities are good, with private security present. There is a spacious lawn garden and pool area providing personal space. Our room was quite large, comfortable, quiet, and retained heritage feel. In all, we had a very pleasant 4 night stay and would return.

We were originally booked to stay here when we visited Cape Town, however we were told they had over booked, so we were shifted to another hotel across the courtyard. Due to plumbing issues in our room at that hotel we were then shifted to The Dock House, which happened quite late at night. Unfortunately this meant we didn’t get the full experience of the hotel, as we checked out early the next morning. Our room was large, spacious and clean. The heating worked well as it was a very cold night. The breakfast the following morning was lovely and the staff were very attentive. We would book again, with the hope of being able to use more of the facilities offered.

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.

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!

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.

This is a very charming hotel, in a wonderful location, very close to The Waterfront. The rooms are big and beautifully decorated, extremely confortable. The service is very kind and accommodating. All in all, an excellent choice in Cape Town!
