We were lucky enough to be upgraded to the villa, which is nearly 4 times as big as a standard bungalow. Location is excellent, so is breakfast. Very friendly staff. Our only disappintment was that the lady at the reception promised us a nice bottle of bubbly for our honeymoon, but we never saw the colour of it. Anyway, a... More

Stayed here for one night. We were surprised to find that the rooms are over a dry river bed; we were expecting to see water. The rooms on stilts looked cute but the views from our room were not as good as we had anticipated. The bedroom was quite spacious and simply furnished but quite dark and overlooked by another...

Swakopmund is quite extraordinary. I never felt that I’d be happy to see grey skies on my vacation, but after the heat of Sossusvlei, Swakopmund is a place to cool off. We had 20-25 centigrade down by the beach, only a couple of kilometres in land the temperature exceeded 40 centigrade- quite remarkable. The Stiltz met our needs perfectly- lovely... More

Turned up on spec, as I had seen it on my last visit. Very warm reception, not being full was able to arrive at an acceptable rate. I share other guests views that it would have been nice to have a bar instead of the room fridge, also the room lighting was totally inadequate, which I mentioned to management. It... More

On arrival at The Stiltz we were welcomed by Elsie, she was fun, warm and excited to welcome us to the Lodge, she truly did make our 12 night/day stay feel like we were at home and went out of her way to help us with what ever we needed. We were booked us into an amazing Villa with the... More

We stayed in the Stiltz for two nights. Due to my group (4 of us) travelling on a budget, we booked the family room for our stay in Swakop. However, when checking in, the delightful Bonita informed us that we had been upgraded to the Luxuary Villa for no extra cost ... good start. The villa was stunning! Two floors... More

Lacking a Restaurant, Lounge and/or even the basics of a basic Bar, this seemed a real stretch for us as a place to stay. With the Agents ringing endorsement still spinning round my brain and with the reassurances that it was in a great Location near / looking out to sea, over the Flamingo-filled lagoon and on the edge of...

We stayed the Stiltz last June in the large 3 bedroom family suite which was nicely appointed with ample space. We loved it until nightfall. At night, the suite was unbearably dark and even with all the lights on you could not read or play a game. And it was freezing. Other guests are right to say that the electric... More

The very nice management at The Stiltz upgraded us to the 3 bedroom 3 bathroom Villa, just to be nice. Very comfortable and well-appointed. The location, right on the beach at the mouth of the Swakop river, is an easy walk to downtown, and wonderful Jetty 1905!
