The Stiltz

The Stiltz is situated on the outskirts of Swakopmund town, close to the Atlantic coast.

Accommodation & Facilities
Each of the nine minimalist and elegantly furnished thatched bungalows, one of which is a family room, is built on stilts and has views from the balcony of either the Atlantic Ocean, the dunes inland or the Swakopmund River mouth. There is a large breakfast room with large windows looking towards the sea.

Wildlife & Activities
With sea mist rolling in on many mornings and then east winds in the afternoon, Swakopmund isn’t a classic seaside resort. However a stay of a couple of nights is nice, as a number of activities are available either in Swakopmund or nearby Walvis Bay. Quad bike excursions head inland into the dunes, whilst lie-down or stand-up sandboarding makes use of the dunes’ relationship with gravity. From Walvis Bay boat, catamaran and kayak trips are available to see the seal colonies on Pelican Point, where dolphins are also sometimes seen. The lagoon is a great place for sea birds with large numbers of pelicans, among others, present in the summer.
