The beautiful town of Swakopmund was established in the early 1900's and lies between the Namib Desert, the Atlantic Ocean and the mouth and estuary of the Swakop River. The combination of dry desert air and the moisture from the sea, creates the mild weather experienced throughout the year, making Swakopmund the ideal holiday destination for both local and international travellers.
The Stiltz is unique in every way, offering spectacular views over the riverbed, the ocean and the dunes in the desert. The quirky wooden bungalows, built on stilts above the surrounding bush, give guests a bird's eye view on the estuary with its rich birdlife. Interlinked with wooden walkways, which also connect to the communal areas, each bungalow enjoys the privacy of its own balcony.
