For the second consecutive year, the Tintswalo Atlantic lodge in Hout Bay will host a special ‘Phoenix Charity Dinner’, in commemoration of the devastating Western Cape fires of 2015, which also claimed the original lodge. The event will take place on Wednesday, 3 May 2017, at 18:00 (PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF DATE).
The evening is set to commence with drinks and a spectacular dinner with live musical entertainment, followed by a fundraising auction during which guests will be able to bid on exciting auction items while contributing to a worthy cause – this year in support of Thula Thula Hout Bay. This local disaster relief organisation was founded in 2015 to address a need for centralised, community-oriented collections and distributions. Composed of a group of local residents, the non-governmental organisation proactively prepares for disaster relief in partnership with residents, retailers and businesses.
Thula Thula also seeks to educate the public in order to prevent or control fires. Funds raised at the Phoenix Charity Dinner will be used to employ trainers to educate young people about the best course of action during fire threats, in an effort to help reduce fire disasters affecting local homes.
Lisa Goosen, CEO of Tintswalo Atlantic says Tintswalo holds this cause very close to its heart, and would like to contribute to a group that is helping those suffering a similar, and often worse, loss to the one experienced by the lodge.
Tickets are available at R1,200 per person, and tables of 10 will receive a special rate of R10,000 per table. To make a night of it, dinner guests are also encouraged to book one of the hotel’s luxury Suites at R10,780 per couple, which includes the charity dinner, as well as breakfast the following morning.
The Phoenix Charity Dinner will be co-hosted by event sponsors, Little Black Book, Julie Killias Events, and Shakierah Abrahams.

On 2 March 2015, a day many Capetonians remember vividly, a massive veld fire devastated huge swathes of natural vegetation, homes, and businesses all over the Cape Peninsula – among them the luxury Tintswalo Atlantic Lodge on Chapman’s Peak. The owners did not let this devastating loss dampen their spirits however – instead, through sheer determination and with the incredible help and support from neighbours and local businesses, they went on to rebuild the lodge within only eight months. The rebuild was an opportunity to breathe new life into the property, creating an even better experience for guests.
The fact that the community came together so willingly to help one another during the aftermath of this crisis – from messages of support and financial donations, to actual physical labour, inspired Tintswalo to commemorate the occasion with a fundraising dinner. The event would serve as a reminder of the difference that can be made collectively, and would present an opportunity to give back by raising awareness and much-needed funds for critical issues in need of support within the greater community.
A year later to the day that the lodge burned to the ground, the Corbett family, the owners of Tintswalo Atlantic hosted its first annual Phoenix Charity Dinner – the name being in honour of Tintswalo rising from the ashes like a phoenix. All proceeds of the inaugural charity event and auction – over R300,000 – went to the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), which was instrumental in helping on the day of the fires.
