“A unique and comfortable property in a stunning setting with easy access to the heart of Swakopmund.”
Absolutely loved this property! After staying at smaller accommodations during our trip around Namibia it was so good to have a place with plenty of space. The sound of the waves crashing all night was so soothing and it’s an easy walk into town. The breakfast had so many options, we got our laundry done and the staff were so friendly.

“Great experience!”
The hotel is located in an incredible spot. Very beautiful views! The huts are quite authentic, and this makes the experience quite nice. The hotel provided a champagne bottle for our honey moon, quite a detail on their end!

It was special to stay in stilt house. The furnishings are decorated with great attention to detail. Since it can get cold at night in Swakopmund, the beds are equipped with electric blankets, which makes the stay very comfortable. The parking place is guarded during the night. Thank you very much!

Great location with views over the estuary out to the Ocean. The villa was very comfortable with lots of space and comfy chairas for the whole family. We stayed in the 6 person family villa, which was great for us
