Detailed Reviews
The guesthouse is located a little outside the city center in a very calm neighborhood.
Rooms are very clean and spacious.
The staff very kind, it was a great experience!
It is a nice little stop, not too expensive that we really enjoyed.

Driftwood Guesthouse is locatd in a quiet residential area just a few metres away from the Atlantic Ocean. It has small and spotless clean rooms with comfortable beds, great staff and safe parking in front.
The beach is only a very short walk away and there is a yummie Pizzeria round the corner.

We were here only one night, but they managed to get laundry done for us. Our room was clean and light. It was too cold to sit out in the nice garden seating area, alas. Breakfast was good. It was about a 30 minute walk from the main town shopping area along the beachfront. The decor makes clever use of natural and repurposed items.

Loved the room with a view, I sat on the balcony and enjoyed the free bottle of wine after a long day of being in a catamaran and on a camel. The breakfast the next day was amazing and the people were very kind and helpful. Would definitely go back

The guesthouse is set one min walk away from the beach. Rooms are clean, spacious and excellent. Staff made us feel very welcome and were attentive throughout our whole stay. The breakfast was amazing. We loved the extra little touches in our room on arrival. Plenty of information to help with your trips around Walvis & Swakopmund. Located very near to restaurants & bars. Would love to stay here again, I cannot recommend this place enough!

the place is charming and the staff just as much. Very good breakfast, plentiful and served with a smile. However, a taxi or personal car is obligatory to go into town in the evening.
Small guarded parking lot, and presence of a guard at night.
No sea view either: 2 streets away

This is not my first time staying in Driftwood. Immaculate clean and very friendly personnel. The breakfast is very good with a wide variety. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. Also walking distance from the beach away from town center. Would definitely stay again.
