Location and Transportation

Located in Summerstrand, No5 Boutique Art Hotel is less than 10 minutes from Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport. The hotel is a short walk (less than 150 meters) to the ocean. A blue flag beach is a 5-minute drive away. Nearby landmarks include Happy Valley (1.5 km), Humewood Beach (1 km), and Splash Waterworld Supertubes (1.5 km).

Hotel Services

No5 Boutique Art Hotel provides complimentary WiFi and 24-hour concierge service. The hotel includes an executive boardroom (10-seater). Impact projects include a Staff Literacy Programme, Winter Clothing Drive, and Adopt-A-Penguin. The hotel has a backup generator and 24-hour CCTV surveillance. Laundry services are available. The hotel supports sustainability with an organic kitchen garden, a plastic recycling program, Planet 21 Silver Status, and an electric vehicle charging station.

“The hotel's art-deco design and proximity to blue flag beaches position it as a remarkable stay in Summerstrand. Its unique blend of a boutique hotel, art gallery, and wellness spa, though, suggests a property undergoing an identity crisis, as evidenced by reports of inconsistent service. While the cinema and private cellar hint at exclusivity, addressing service gaps seems crucial.”
