In the native Shangaan language, Tintswalo means "the intangible feeling of love, gratitude and peace bestowed upon someone offering you a meaningful and worthy gift." The latest addition to the Tintswalo Collection is Tintswalo Atlantic. The magnificent lodge is situated in one of the most stunning locations in Southern Africa! Positioned at the base of Chapman’s Peak, Tintswalo Atlantic overlooks the quaint fishing village of Hout Bay. Stylish yet understated, Tintswalo Atlantic offers home-away-from-home comforts, discreet service and mouthwatering culinary creations in the most beautiful setting. Nestled unobtrusively between the boulders of the Atlantic Ocean's water’s edge and the slopes of the Cape Mountain Fynbos Reserve, known worldwide for its extraordinary rich and diverse fauna and flora - no trees were removed and not so much as a branch was cut from the Milkwood trees that grace the shoreline - Tintswalo Atlantic offers absolute seclusion and relaxation, with the ocean literally a stone’s throw away from the pebbled beach! Tintswalo Atlantic is the perfect destination for visitors wanting to relax right beside the ocean - either starting their holiday at the lodge or to recuperate after an exciting few days on safari. It’s also ideal for holiday goers wanting to spend their days exploring the many attractions of the Cape Peninsula, returning “home” at the end of a busy day! Location Tintswalo Atlantic is located in Cape Town, two kilometers from Hout Bay on the Chapman's Peak road. It is approximately a 45 minute drive from Cape Town International Airport, and 25 minutes from the city of Cape Town. Clients who are driving themselves to Tintswalo Atlantic will leave their car in a secure parking area at the top of the cliff - shortly after passing through the Chapman's Peak toll gate. They will then be transferred via a steep single track to the hotel by the Tintswalo Atlantic courtesy vehicle.
Facilities The Tintswalo Atlantic communal areas have been built predominantly from wood and glass to blend harmoniously with the natural and staggeringly beautiful surrounds. Facilities include a lounge, bar, small wine cellar, dining room, and interactive kitchen. The common element shared by all are the breathtaking views of the sea and mountains. From the long wooden deck with its heated Jacuzzi pool and comfortable loungers, one has a feeling of being suspended over the ocean. The décor and furnishings complement the beauty of the setting. A colour palette of blue, green, aquamarine, brown and silver reflects the ever changing moods of the ocean. Deep sofas, comfy chairs and ottomans, pewter tables and stools, rich wooden floors, crystal chandeliers, wonderfully tactile fabrics together with displays of coral, shells, driftwood and bowls of Proteas complete the ambience of unparalleled elegance and discreet comfort. Accommodation The Tintswalo Atlantic suites are authentically decorated to emulate the experiences and colours of various well-known islands of the world. The air-conditioned suites are quite literally, situated on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Each room has its own unique view of the ocean and the majestic Sentinel across the bay. The suites promise supreme comfort and privacy, and whale watching is an effortless activity at certain times of the year. Spacious en-suite bathroom, all with his and her basins as well as showers also enjoy an uninterrupted marine view.
Activities Guests may choose to explore the Cape surrounds or the Winelands. They may also choose to enjoy lunch on the Tintswalo Atlantic deck, or share cooking tips with the executive chef in the open-plan kitchen before an intimate dinner, watching the sun set behind the Sentinel. Tintswalo Atlantic's accommodation is on a bed and breakfast basis and both lunch and dinner should be booked in advance, as this is prepared in accordance with guests' personal culinary preferences. A massage therapist can be arranged for private treatments in the comfort of the suites. The surrounding mountain reserve has a multitude of paths and walkways for visitors to enjoy.
