Thoughtful preparation of breakfast. Even some 5* hotel can't match their service touch. Room is clean and spacious, the location is great and convenient. Bicycles are available to use, which I will definitely try next time.

“Brilliant guesthouse with unique decor in an unforgettable coastal town”
Great guesthouse with spacious and well furnished rooms. The decor is unique and the furniture is made with a lot of old worn wood which had been heavily used during the making of the Mad Max movie nearby some years ago. Very convenient to the beach and the town of Swakopmund is an energetic walk or a short drive along the road. Swakopmund has the feel of an upmarket coastal town with lots of great restaurants and the guesthouse is very enjoyable to visit. Breakfast delivery and presentation was a standout feature with both hot and cold options available and the room's mini bar was very competitive indeed alongside the free Tea and coffees on offer

“Beautiful themed guesthouse with lovely touches”
We loved the "driftwood" theme. Beautiful finishes and touches. Some dispensensers and room spray didn't work, but was immediately sorted out when reported. Comfortable beds and ample sockets for chargers and other utilities. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the location is great. Parking is outside on the street, but there is a guard to watch the cars. Gorgeous breakfast and we loved the homemade muesli! The guesthouse is homely and very charming. Coffee station in the room with quality coffee and a great variety of drinks offered. We had a lovely stay and will gladly book here again.

“Great base for exploring Swakupmund and Windhoek area”
all was lovely. super staff. good location, although not as close to the 'centre' of Swakupmund as I imagined. It's a brisk half hour walk along the seafront.
