The Stiltz
Accommodation in Swakopmund - Namibia
The Stiltz has the only accommodation in Swakopmund, that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, the Swakop river-bed, the sand dunes and the bird-rich lagoon of the river mouth. As it's name suggests, each private bungalow is built on stilts, and they are interlinked by wooden walkways, as well as to and from the main dining bungalow. It is hard to believe that with such a unique setting, it is actually in the town.
This popular bed and breakfast establishment, is only a brisk 15 minute walk from the town centre, and is a very convenient base to explore Swakopmund town centre, with it's plentiful selection of restaurant's, bar's and amenities. The Stiltz recommends The Tug and the Die Kelder, for an evening of outstanding food and wine.
There is a breakfast room with a small lounge, for those guests not 'out on the town' or enjoying many of the activities in and around the area. The couch is made of blue-gum wood, collected in the Swakop River. It faces a large window with a panoramic view of the sea and riverine environment. They are welcome to use the telephone and Internet facility in the main office, once they've finished gawping out of the window. There is also a laundry service.
Accommodation is in either bungalows or luxury villas. Each unit is stylishly decorated and furnished and the interiors have been colourfully and artistically designed. The bathrooms have rosewood door frames, terracotta floor tiles and walls of coloured steel sheeting.
- Bungalows: 8 bungalows in either a twin or double configuration with 1 Honeymoon Suite. They all sleep 2 persons. En-suite bathrooms and shower, mini-bar, tea/coffee station, a small in-room safe, heaters and electric blankets are standard. Every bungalow has a balcony with ocean, dune or lagoon views. Seating is in director 'fold-up' chairs, crafted especially for The Stiltz. Wi-fi internet is available throughout.
- Family Unit: The Family Unit is a bungalow which is ideal for 2 to 4 persons. The facilities and views are similar to the Bungalows.
- Villas: There are 2 luxury villas which can accommodate up to 6 guests per villa. Both are spaciously spread over 2 levels with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in each. The massive picture window upstairs frames spectacular sea views from the comfort of the Emperor-sized bed. Views and facilities are similar to the bungalows.
For safety reasons, most of the accommodation of this lodge is not suitable for children under 12. However, children are allowed to stay in the family bungalow or the The Villa.
Swakopmund vehicle rental can also be arranged.
Top location, right on the beach. This is a very popular accommodation choice - and rightly so.
Slightly outide town on the banks of the Swakop River and overlooking the dunes of the Namib Desert. Excellent for those wanting a quite deser setting near the convenience of town
Close to the main beach and Swakopmund aquarium, also boasts a heated swimming pool
Absolutely unique! Built on stilts into the Swakop River - many units offer great views. Feels more like a traditional country lodge rather than an establishment in a busy tourist town.
