Why We Love The Stiltz
The individual bungalows all connected by raised wooden walkways are what make this place unique. The private balconies with views of the dunes, ocean and the lagoon’s resident flamingos make The Stiltz the leading place to spend your nights in Swakopmund. Their breakfasts are also worth the visit on their own.
Where is it?
It’s just a five minute walk into the town of Swakopmund. Perfectly located really, with just the right amount of privacy, and close enough to the beach and great seafood restaurants.
The Finer Details
The spacious bungalows are all tastefully furnished, reflecting the natural surroundings. There’s also a honeymoon bungalow and larger luxury villa (all still on stilts), making it the ideal location for all.
