We very much enjoyed our stay here. Service was very good and room was excellent. Large room with a large bathroom. Breakfast was well done. Best to have a vehicle to get around town and see all of the sites.

The owners were very nice and helpful, ready to answer questions and giving advice about where to go and what to do. Also, the Wi-Fi was exellent, which is not common in Namibia. The b&b is not in centrum, but placer near the wateefront. As we enjoy walking, this was never an issue for us.

We were 3 families that booked for a 3 night stay and even though the Owners were away, our stay was excellent! Clean rooms, great linen, bath amenities - nothing was too much to ask for ( and we did ! ) - early breakfasts, arranging taxis for all 13 of us, laundry, restaurant recommendations, etc! Highly recommended!

Rooms were clean and comfortable and the Guesthouse also provides rather generous common areas with sofas, tables etc. which one appreciates when travelling in a group of more than 2 people. The staff is extremely friendly (in a natural and pleasant way) and sincerely cares about the comfort of their guests. The overall atmosphere in the Guesthouse is very relaxed. The location is little bit far from centre so either be ready to walk for ca 45-60 minutes or take a taxi. Wi-fi worked. Breakfast was very good with quite a range of choice. The only thing that may surprise you is that (at least in our room) the bathroom is directly in your room, separate only by the glass walls that, under certain angles, are quite see-through I would definitely stay in this Guesthouse again and will recommend it to my friends.…

We loved our stay at the Guesthouse, friendly staff and homey environment. A home away from home. The rooms are not overly spacious but there is more than enough space to relax after a day of activities. Its close to all amenities and has great wifi! We will definitely visit them again!
