Perhaps Swokopmunds best kept secret. Great location on a side street, owned and operated by a lovely family and staff. Beautifully maintained, safe, secure and extremely clean. Nicely decorated, spacious rooms. Within a block or two of central main street and easy to walk to restaurants both in town and overlooking the water! Breakfast included, nice sitting rooms and common spaces and garden area.

We liked our stay here very much, we felt a warmth and care from the staff that made us feel at home. The is a sensibility for the space, the service is excellent and the human treatment makes the stay very welcoming. We appreciate the design of the place, which has a homely atmosphere with its wood and rooms that preserve an old-fashioned design. The breakfast was with good quality products and with an elaborated and homemade preparation. And the proactivity and consideration of the staff to help us with our needs outside of the accommodation set it apart from other places.

Very nice and cozy guesthouse in the city center of Swakopmund! The rooms are nice, large and clean and they all face a very pleasant internal garden - shared “living” room also available inside which was great as we visited in winter. The staff gave us several suggestions for restaurants and bars in town, and most of Swakopmund is reachable within walking distance (e.g., main road, jetty, lighthouse)

Unfiendly people from German origin with a truly colonial attitude towards native black people. Breakfast was served for us in the former garage, an unpleasant and cold room. When we asked if we could have another table (we saw one free) the lady coldly answered “NO”. Don’t go there!

Very safe and friendly place. Close to town centre.
