5-star luxury boutique hotel in Cape Town, former harbour master's residence on the V&A Waterfront

Historical Setting & Prime Location

Dock House Boutique Hotel And Spa By Newmark occupies the 1800s residence of the harbour engineer, directly opposite the V&A Waterfront and the iconic timeball tower. The hotel is one of South Africa's Top 25 luxury hotels, with a location that places guests steps from the Cape Town International Convention Centre, Robben Island ferry, and Two Oceans Aquarium. Table Mountain views and the waterfront promenade are within a five-minute walk, while secure on-site parking and valet service are available for those arriving by car.

Exclusive Accommodations

The property offers only six rooms and suites, each designed with a private balcony or patio overlooking the garden and pool area. Rooms feature high ceilings, separate living areas, and marble bathrooms with roll-top baths in select suites. The largest suite includes a lounge, bedroom, and private walled patio, with all accommodations serviced by 24-hour housekeeping and a dedicated butler.

Wellness & Spa Facilities

The on-site Sanctuary Spa provides massage treatments, a sauna, solarium, and spa/wellness packages that can be arranged by the butler. An outdoor pool with sun loungers and a fully equipped gym are open year-round, with pool towels provided. Spa lounge and relaxation areas complement the wellness offering, and guests can book a couple's massage rated highly in recent reviews.

Dining & Personalized Services

Breakfast is served in a morning room overlooking the garden, with a menu that can be customized by the chef, including eggs Benedict and fresh pastries. Dinner is available in the in-house dining room or via room service, with chef-designed menus that use local ingredients. Guests also have access to the restaurant of the adjacent Queen Victoria Hotel for additional dining options, and a private chef can prepare outdoor dinners in the garden.

Amenities for Business & Leisure

The hotel offers a private library, meeting and banquet facilities, a business centre with fax/photocopy services, and express check-in/check-out.
