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!
