OVERVIEW ON TINTSWALO ATLANTIC IN HOUT BAY – CAPE TOWN
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! 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. 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. Every suite has an extra length double or twin bed, en-suite bathroom, air conditioners, and small private deck.
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 color 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.

Siciliy Island Suite – Tintswalo Atlantic: Sicily Island Suite – Is the famous Italian island – it’s a little “on the side”, and not part of the mainstream of European playgrounds – rather like the continent of Africa. The suite is formal and pays tribute to Italian style.
Sainte Marie Island Suite
Sainte Marie Island Suite – Tintswalo Atlantic: A beautiful island off Madagascar, it is the only suite not decorated in any shade of blue – it is striking for its extended use of glass and light. It is the most feminine suite of the collection.
Cousine Island Suite – Tintswalo Atlantic: A Seychelles island – famous primarily due to its complete privacy, and the fact that it is a sanctuary to the most beautiful species of shells, fish and marine life in the region. The aqua colours are reminiscent of the beautiful colour of the sea in and around its coral reefs
Madura Suite – Tintswalo Atlantic: Madura Island Suite – Our most masculine suite – in blues and browns – represents the Balinese islands with their lovely use of carved wood, exuding a naturally warm and inviting atmosphere.
Antigua Suite – Tintswalo Atlantic: Antigua Island Suite – A Caribbean “shabby-chic”, mainly blues but with exotic accents of pinks and yellows – this suite will appeal to those who have a sense of fun. A true Caribbean feel with bright colours of blue and yellow.
Princes Island Suite: Princes’ Island Suite – Tintswalo Atlantic – There are a total of nine islands in the Sea of Marmara not far from the city of Istanbul, known as the Princes’ Islands. Here the Byzantine influence is evident, use of terracotta and clay colours evoke a warm, yet fresh ambience.
Zanzibar Suite – Tintswalo Atlantic: Zanzibar Island Suite – One of our most lovely and most popular East African island destinations – it has a vibrant historical identity and colour which we felt could not be ignored.
Presidential Suite, Elba & Corsica Islands – There is a prominent French influence (Huguenot) in the Cape. We therefore went for a “Country-French-Chic” feel in this luxurious suite, evoking classic French elements but bringing it in line with a contemporary style – thus adding an interesting “twist” to it. The Presidential Suite is also situated on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, and represents a “Country-French-Chic” feel, evoking classic French elements, but marrying the classic with a contemporary style – thus adding an interesting “twist” to it. The Presidential Suite is authentically decorated to emulate the experiences and colours of the Elba and Corsica islands. A generous entrance hall leads off to two separate full en-suite suites, connected by a central lavish lounge. Both rooms and the lounge face the sea and have spectacular views. Guests may book this suite for exclusive use, or as part of the main lodge facilities.
