Tintswalo Summer House, Glencairn, Cape Town, South Africa
Opening April 2026, Tintswalo Summer House breathes new life into the historic Glencairn Southern Right Hotel, a former landmark of coastal elegance dating back to 1904. Once a host to dignitaries and notable figures, the property fell into disrepair—until Tintswalo acquired it in 2014, quietly operating a restaurant while meticulously planning its full revival. Now, following a meticulous renovation, the hotel is being reimagined as a boutique 12-suite escape. Blending heritage architecture with modern design, Tintswalo Summer House will channel barefoot luxury with local flair. Guests can expect elegant high teas, curated beach picnics, and experiential dining at the Summer House Eatery—all inspired by the surrounding landscape. A soulful expression of Cape Town’s laid-back rhythm and culinary spirit, this intimate hotel invites guests to slow down, savor, and reconnect—with the sea, the land, and each other.
