Get the celebrity treatment with world-class service at Dock House Boutique Hotel and Spa by NEWMARK

Built in the 1800’s as a private residence for the harbour master, this beautifully restored building, situated in the V&A Waterfront, is home to one of Cape Town’s most exclusive boutique hotels. Situated just opposite the V&A Waterfront’s timeball tower, Dock House impresses with personalized service and panoramic views of the harbour and its surroundings. Enjoy breakfast in the elegantly furnished morning room, followed by a swim in the stylish outdoor pool. While you soak up the sun on a lounger in the garden area, your very own butler can arrange a massage or treatment at the nearby wellness centre, which also offers guests the use of state-of-the-art gym facilities. Classic décor and a spacious layout make each of the guest rooms and suites at Dock House a welcome retreat after a busy day. Marvel at stunning views of the waterfront from your balcony.

Alternatively, you can indulge in delicious cuisine in the comfort of your beautiful room.

    We found the Dock House to be the perfect starting point after landing in Cape Town! It's a bit hard to find at first, but once you know where to go it's very conveniently and centrally located on the V&A Waterfront. The rooms are lovely,...
