About Dock House Boutique Hotel
Dock House Boutique Hotel is a small luxury property situated in Cape Town's V&A Waterfront, beside the historic Time Ball Tower, and originally served as the harbour engineer's private residence in the 1800s. The hotel features elegant interiors with chandeliers and ornate ceiling cornices that reflect its heritage. Comprising five rooms and one suite, it offers guests a blend of historical character and modern comfort within the secure Waterfront precinct, with access to dining at neighbouring Queen Victoria Hotel and Victoria & Alfred Hotel.
