“Happy customer”
I liked that the place is close to the lagoon where I walked every morning. Access to all areas in Walvis that I am interested in is easy. The reception staff were very helpful when I needed them (I bought both chocs as I was so pleased). The cleaning ladies and man were as helpful and friendly. Bedding, etc. was clean and tidy. Good pillows.

“Lovely little self contained holiday hut”
A lovely little self contained holiday hut with everything that you might need and a really comfortable bed. Very friendly staff both on reception and housekeeping. There is plenty of parking and a nice little balcony also lawned area. We have now booked for the third time - so we think this is a great place to stay. It is possible to stay without a car as there are shops within walking distance.

“Everything you need for a cosy restful stay”
The little cottage is super practical, with everything you need. It was lovely to stay there after long days on the roads and being able to rest in this comfortable space. Wifi was great, with TV, warm shower and comfortable bed. The parking is private and secure, and you can also enjoy the outdoor space with your personal braai area. The area is also relatively quiet and easily accessible.
