Built as the grand residence and offices to the harbour engineer in the mid-1800's, Dock House boasts a proud heritage. Dock House is located alongside Timeball Tower in the V&A Waterfront's Portswood Precint. Intimate and private, the villa-styled hotel offers five spacious individually decorated rooms – three of which have balconies overlooking the Waterfront’s vibrant harbour area – and one glamorous suite. The suite boasts a private garden and each room is equipped with a stylish private bar and state-of-the-art designer bathroom.

The Boutique Hotel is small and personal, meals will be served à la carte in the sun-filled morning room on the ground floor or in the pool area, which boasts its own bar. The affiliated Queen Victoria Hotel is located next door and offers two popular restaurants (Oyo and Dash). Guests of Dock House are allowed to use the wellness and fitness facilities at Queen Victoria Hotel.

Dock House Boutique Hotel is situated opposite the graceful Time Ball Tower with convenient access to the vibrant harbour area. You only have to cross the garden, exit through a little gate and follow a path down to the main road, which you cross to access Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. The malls, restaurants and ocean cruise facilities are all within walking distance.
