The Winchester Hotel

Sea Point (Cape Town)

Set right on the promenade in Sea Point, this beautiful old hotel is something of a local landmark. This splendid 1920's Cape Dutch building sits between the mountains and the sea. The terrace is the ideal please to sit with a coffee, or something stronger, and watch the world go by and enjoy the vibrant beach scene which is right in front of the hotel.

There's an excellent restaurant and popular courtyard bar, there's also a beautiful spa which is very welcome after a busy day shopping or sightseeing. The rooms all have air conditioning, television, minibar and safe, loft rooms overlook the courtyard or table mountain and classic rooms are equally spacious although do not have a view of the sea.

Other Options

Set amongst shady trees on the banks of the Kunene River, the lodge is one of the most remote camps in southern Africa. You’ll fall asleep to the sound of rushing water, while by day you explore one of the driest deserts in the world.

Activities here are varied, including boating (water levels permitting), walking, viewing breathtaking landscapes, as well as carefully guided quad-bike excursions that tread lightly on the dunes. In this isolated region, the Himba people continue their nomadic, traditional way of life and when in the area, guests can meet them and learn about their lifestyle and traditions.

The camp comprises seven ultra-spacious canvas en-suite rooms under thatch. Each has been built on a wooden deck, with elevated walkways linking them to the main area. The view from each suite is spectacular, overlooking the Kunene River and mountains of Angola.
These include a comfortable sunken seating area, an extra-large bed with a canopy and netting, and indoor and outdoor showers. The large deck is ideal for private dining or simply unwinding and soaking in the sights and sounds of this unique wilderness.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world.

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.

High in both quality and luxury of experience, and property must have ‘wowed’ us on many levels.

This is our benchmark for excellent service and experience, location and /or activities.

Good relative value, excellent location and/or experience, and offering an ideal base for exploring the area.

Budget-focused stopover property, sometimes it’s the ideal location on a driving itinerary.

Don’t be put off, these stays are comfortable and a perfect pit stop on a journey where the choices may be limited.
