Situated within easy walking distance of the town centre, supermarkets, atms and laundry Eloweru is in a good but quiet location and was very good value for money. We stayed in the property within the gate area (there is one property outside) which had a good kitchen and eating area for preparing your own food. They do provide a very good breakfast for you if you don't want to make it yourself. The wifi was but only worked in the main building.
Our room had a small fridge and tea making facilities plus tea/coffee/ sugar were provided. The rooms and communal areas were very clean and tidy. There was a braai for cooking outside if you required it and outside seating areas. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful and corresponding and booking by email was easy. There is secure parking at the property inside the gates.
This was a really good base for exploring the nearby national parks and area in general.

Very comfortable rooms that are well appointed. Secure parking available and an excellent breakfast. Do not leave before breakfast! Good value for money compared to nearby establishments. The town itself is very limited with choices for an evening meal - don't expect too much from that point of view.

Good day Yes dont leave without breakfast. It helps you to start the day! For dinner you have a few options but we highly recommend the Okiep Country Hotel. They are the best at cooking a meal. Their Restaurant is always open hope to see you soon Regards Konrad

Our stay was pleasant. The reception was terrible as there was no one to let us in and the receptionist had left the property along with all the keys. The owner of the property managed to let us in with the spare keys. He was very welcoming and gave as valuable advice for our trip to Namibia. Our room was simple but pleasant. Bathrooms are a little outdated but very clean. All the curtains are block-out except for one curtain which was very thin and let through a significant amount of light from the security light outside, which made for poor sleep quality. There was a communal lounge area and kitchen which was a pleasant surprise for us making our daily padkos, but there was another person staying next door who was very inconsiderate with using such spaces. He cooked dinner very late at night and left dirty dishes in the sink which made it unpleasant for us to make food the next day. This is not the guesthouse's fault, but it is one of the issues with a communal area adjacent to the bedrooms.
A huge bonus was the gym on the premises. It was well-kitted out and was perfect for a long day of travelling. It was also a great activity whilst we were experiencing loadshedding. My partner did not see as many flaws as I did and would have given it 5 stars, so I think this guesthouse is very specific to your tastes in accommodation, but overall it was not a bad place to stay.

I commend the management of Elkoweru for the excellent work. My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our three night at the beautiful, neat, comfortable rooms. The place is easy to find and just a drive or walk from town. Great staff (Maxine and Conradie), such a welcome and assistance with places to go, to do and see. Best place!

Booking by email was easy and answered in a speedy manner. Jaxy at the Front Desk was helpful with booking a restaurant and places to see flowers. The room was clean and adequate and breakfast was good and efficient especially since we asked for an early breakfast at 7am. The wi-fi was decent and the DSTV had some good movie channels. We enjoyed being able to sit in the living room and have a drink. I would recommend this b&b as good value for money.

I've been comming here on a monthly basis for work for the past 4 years, every time a smilling face is ready to assist to my needs. Nothing is to much to ask for the friendly staff working here. Truely a home away from home. On my last visit I brought my wife and 2 kids along the self catering unit was perfect for our family we needed nothing more than what was provided.
