There is a certain moment, just as the sun slips behind Chapman’s Peak and the last light shimmers across the Atlantic, when Tintswalo Atlantic seems to reveal its truest self. The waves lap gently against the rocks below, a breeze carries the faint scent of salt and fynbos, and the boutique hotel’s glass-fronted suites glow warmly against the rugged mountainside. It is in this setting that Tintswalo Atlantic has chosen to welcome the new season, with a springtime escape that invites guests to pause, unwind, and celebrate the art of slow living through a carefully curated experience of wine and waves.
Throughout September 2025, the oceanfront retreat introduces the ‘Tintswalo Atlantic Wine & Waves’ package, a limited-time offering that pairs world-class dining, Cape heritage wines, and a setting unlike any other in the city. Priced at R16 370 per room per night, the package is valid from 1 to 30 September, making it an exclusive opportunity for travellers who wish to immerse themselves in the Cape’s changing season with understated elegance and comfort.
Perched directly at the base of Chapman’s Peak, within touching distance of the Atlantic Ocean, Tintswalo Atlantic remains one of Cape Town’s most sought-after boutique hotels. With only a handful of suites built along the shoreline, privacy is not an afterthought but a promise. Each suite opens onto a private deck with sweeping views of the ocean, where guests can wake to the sound of waves or watch the shifting hues of sunset without leaving their rooms. This setting, where mountain meets sea, provides the backdrop for an experience that is designed to feel personal, restorative, and entirely attuned to its natural surroundings.
The Wine & Waves package is more than an overnight stay—it is a seamless journey through some of the Cape’s most refined pleasures. Guests will enjoy one night’s accommodation at Tintswalo Atlantic, including a memorable dinner at the recently revamped Chefs Warehouse Tintswalo Atlantic, where acclaimed seasonal plates are served in a relaxed yet elevated style. Following a night beside the ocean, Tintswalo’s signature breakfast awaits—fresh, thoughtful, and best enjoyed as the morning sun spills across Hout Bay.
Central to the package is a flagship wine tasting at Steenberg Wine Farm, an estate that has long been celebrated for its heritage and quality. Return transfers are included, making the short journey from Tintswalo effortless. The tasting itself is a guided exploration of five vintages, led by knowledgeable sommeliers in the stylish surrounds of the Steenberg Tasting Room. Highlights include the 1682 Pinot Noir Cap Classique, a sparkling expression that reflects both tradition and innovation. Guests are invited to linger, enjoy the estate’s scenic grounds, and savour wines that embody centuries of Cape winemaking.
The decision to pair Tintswalo with Steenberg is a deliberate one, blending oceanfront luxury with vineyard heritage in a way that feels distinctly Cape Town. It allows guests to enjoy both coastal tranquillity and the pleasures of wine country within a single experience.
What sets the Wine & Waves escape apart, however, is not just the list of inclusions but the sense of flow between them. From dining at Chefs Warehouse, where each plate is a conversation between land and sea, to the quiet comfort of Tintswalo’s suites, and the structured refinement of Steenberg’s flagship tasting, the experience feels curated to mirror the natural rhythm of spring: renewal, abundance, and balance.
While the offering speaks to indulgence, it also acknowledges the need for simplicity. At Tintswalo, there are no sprawling lobbies or overwhelming crowds, only carefully considered details and a strong connection to place. For travellers seeking both luxury and intimacy, this balance ensures that every moment feels both exclusive and unforced. The waves outside each suite are a reminder that nature itself remains the hotel’s most valuable amenity.
For some, the price point may appear steep, yet when measured against the package’s inclusions and the rarity of Tintswalo’s location, it presents genuine value. A night at a globally recognised boutique hotel, dinner at one of Cape Town’s most respected culinary names, breakfast by the ocean, and a guided tasting at an award-winning wine estate combine into a single itinerary that is both convenient and unique. It avoids the need for multiple bookings or transfers, and instead creates a single, polished journey that feels effortless.
As spring returns to Cape Town, bringing with it the promise of warmer days and renewed landscapes, the Tintswalo Atlantic Wine & Waves package offers a way to step into the season with a sense of occasion. It is a reminder that luxury is not only about opulence but also about the quality of time spent and the memories carried forward. With only September to enjoy this experience, the invitation is both fleeting and compelling—an opportunity to savour the Cape in a way that blends nature, cuisine, and wine with quiet sophistication.
