Tintswalo Atlantic

Ten suites on stilts, and the Atlantic underneath.

At a Glance

Venue Intelligence

Chapmans Peak Drive, Hout Bay

The suites stand on stilts.

Ten of them, one behind the next along a boulder shoreline, with the Atlantic breaking under the decks and the Sentinel rising across Hout Bay. There is no drive and no lawn. There is a boardwalk, a pool deck at the water's edge, a milkwood old enough to shade a dinner table, and twenty beds. Book all of them and the whole place is yours, including the right to make noise.

A Hundred and Twenty, and Only at The Look Out Point.

The Look Out Point is open air and a hundred and fifty metres on foot from the lodge, and it is the only space here that takes 120 for a ceremony. The Pool Deck and Guest Lounge take 80, with the water directly below the rail. Seated dining reaches 120 in the Elegant Dining Room, falling to 70 in winter, and standing receptions with circulating canapés reach 120, falling to 90 in winter. The packages include the ceremony setting, the arch, the furniture and the coordination; they do not include an officiant, and the marriage officer is the couple's to appoint.

Chefs Warehouse, on the Deck.

Catering is in house only and no external caterer is permitted. Chefs Warehouse at Tintswalo Atlantic writes the wedding menu, cooking at a pass a few metres from where the food is eaten, with folding glass doors open to the ocean on the days that allow it. Corkage runs on wine, Méthode Cap Classique and champagne alone, at R210, R290 and R390 per 750ml to April 2027, one bottle for every two guests. Outside spirits, beer and soft drinks are not permitted.

Ten Suites on Stilts

Eight sea-front Island Suites and two Mountain Suites, strung along a boulder shoreline on Chapmans Peak Drive.

Twenty Beds

The whole property sleeps 20. Accommodation-only exclusive use of all ten suites is from R108,670 in low season.

No Noise Restrictions

The venue lifts its noise restrictions on an exclusive takeover, and the bar runs to 01h00 rather than 23h00.

A Pool Deck, and the Sentinel Across the Bay.

The pool sits on the deck at the water's edge, with a pergola daybed, loungers and a rail guests lean on for most of the afternoon. Swimming stops at 19h00, which is the venue's rule and a sensible one on an unfenced deck above rocks. Beyond it the bay opens: the Sentinel on the far side, the surf below the boardwalk, and the same view from every suite, every deck and very nearly every photograph taken here.

Location

Chapmans Peak Drive, Hout Bay

Tintswalo Atlantic is on Chapmans Peak Drive, on the Hout Bay side of the pass, about thirty minutes from central Cape Town and, by the venue's own figure, 50 minutes and 35 km from Cape Town International. The road is the approach: cut into the mountainside above the water, then a turn down toward the sea. Hout Bay harbour is minutes away, the Constantia wine farms are over the neck, and the city is close enough for guests to fly in on the morning and still make lunch.
