Hotel Casa do Capitão is a waterfront hotel on the north-west corner of Inhambane town, looking out over Inhambane Bay. It is a short walk from the historic port town, which makes it one of the few places on this coast where you can combine a comfortable hotel with streets, markets and colonial-era buildings on your doorstep.
Best for
Hotel Casa do Capitão suits couples and travellers who want to base themselves in Inhambane town rather than on the beach, visitors with an interest in history and town life, and small groups or families who want a self-catering unit with hotel facilities nearby.
It suits less well travellers who want to step straight onto an ocean beach; the surf beaches of Tofo and Barra are on the peninsula to the east.
Location
The hotel’s own location page gives its GPS position as 23°51’43.89″S, 35°22’44.14″E, on the north-west corner of Inhambane town. In a straight line that is about 700 m from our Inhambane town reference point, and the property faces the bay towards Maxixe. The hotel describes the old portside town as a short, leisurely stroll away.
Rooms and style at Hotel Casa do Capitão
According to the hotel, there are 19 double rooms, five en-suite self-catering units and a presidential suite. The self-catering units are a useful option for families or for longer stays, while the double rooms follow a more conventional hotel format.
Facilities at Hotel Casa do Capitão
Verified facilities include a swimming pool facing the bay, the Clube Comodoro restaurant and bar areas, and conference and function facilities for up to 300 delegates, which the hotel also uses for weddings and private events.
Trade-offs and what to know
Because the hotel hosts conferences and events, public areas can be busy on some dates.
This is a town and bay hotel, not a beach resort. If swimming in the ocean or diving is the reason for your trip, plan day trips to Tofo or Barra, or stay there instead.
The official website does not publish detailed room-by-room information, so confirm the room type and view when you book.
Getting there and getting around
Inhambane has a small airport, and the town is also reached by road from the EN1 via Maxixe or around the bay. The hotel is close enough to the old town to explore on foot. To reach Tofo or Barra you will need a vehicle, a transfer or local transport.
