Tintswalo at Waterfall

small intimate hotel offering unparalleled cuisine and exceptional luxury

Description

The Feedroom restaurant within the hotel is our group executive chef’s signature kitchen. Outside seating and a well stocked below ground wine cellar provide alternate unique dining and social experiences.

The sound of croaking frogs, mellowed by a selection of birdcalls, are both soothing and indicative of country life. Add the lush green fields , and you have the illusion of an open countryside, even though the city’s suburbs are not far away.

Tintswalo at Waterfall is designed to emulate a barn, with thick stone-clad walls, double volume spaces and heavy bolted timber roof trusses. The simplicity of this design is offset by beautifully appointed rooms, earth tones, dark rough cut wood, steel and textured fabrics, juxtaposed with marble flooring and a centre walkway, paved with bricks.

Each of the 16 luxury suites are named after a famous horse breed, and are individually themed and decorated to the colours and characteristics of specific horse breeds. The en-suite rooms are spacious with views of either the dam or polo fields, leading onto a small balcony.
