Dock House Boutique Hotel and Spa by Newmark

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

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.

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.

Best hotel in Cape Town Can’t recommend this hotel enough. We had such a lovely stay. The rooms were huge and the balcony was a huge added plus. Everyone working there was so friendly and went out of their way to help us. The location is beyond perfect- it’s super safe and walkable to the V&A and Oranjezicht market. Some reviewers negatively compared it to the neighboring Queen Victoria hotel, but we actually preferred how close the Dockhouse is to the pool area. We’ll definitely stay again on our next trip to Cape Town.

Back of house outside outside below the room. Staff very loud at 06:00

Ich sage es nur ungern aber die Unterkunft ist den Preis nicht wert. Obwohl ich ein Zimmer mit Hafenblick gebucht habe, hatten wir einen Raum mit Blick auf Mülltonnen, Blechdach und vor allem auf den Aufenthaltsraum des Personals. Jeden Morgen 06:15 , wie auf dem Marktplatz. Das Personal sehr aufmerksam, konnte aber die negativen Aspekte nicht ausgleichen. Nicht nochmal.
