THE Tintswalo Atlantic
Lodge has been destroyed
by wildfires that broke out
across the southern Cape on
March 2. They have spread
to Klein Constantia, Hout Bay,
Noordhoek and Tokai and burnt
the Silvermine section of Table
Mountain National Park, where
infrastructure, including office
buildings, campsites and board
walks continue to be at risk.
“Tintswalo Lodges Group
management is still unable to
fully assess the damage to
the property. Through offshore
observation, we foresee
60-80% of damage to the
property, including the main
building and our individual
rooms,” says md, Michelle
du Plessis.
“We regret that the property
will not be operational for an
extended period. We hope to
rebuild by the end of the year
and will continue marketing
and promoting Tintswalo
Atlantic until it is re-launched
in December. Once we have a
set timeline... we will update
the press and public.”
Guests were evacuated
from the premises early on
Monday morning (March 2)
and were relocated to various
properties throughout Cape
Town. Tintswalo will either
refund bookings already made
or relocate those bookings to
other properties.
For all enquiries regarding a
change of reservation, contact
