The Stiltz

Boasting a glorious location on the southern end of the town, overlooking the Swakop River as it flows towards the Atlantic Ocean, The Stiltz is one of the most uniquely designed properties in Swakopmund and a charming base from which to explore the town and the surrounding coastline.

The 8 bedrooms are raised on stilted platforms above the desert floor, offering sweeping panoramic views across the mouth of the Swakop River and the crashing waves of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. Inside they are spacious and comfortable with their own indoor sitting areas and beautifully appointed en-suite bathrooms with full toiletries provided. Stacking glass doors open on to decking areas where guests can relax in the afternoons and enjoy the views out across the river – perfect for sundowner drinks or morning coffee before heading out to explore. A full breakfast is offered daily and staff are on hand until the early evening to help with directions, activity and day out advice as well as restaurant bookings. They are also happy to assist with directions to onward travel destinations and reconfirm flight arrangements.

The Stiltz is perfect for guests looking for an idyllic base from which to explore Swakopmund with lovely rooms and stunning views which more than make up for the limited services on offer at the property.
