Top rate B & B. Well run with the very best breakfast room and food selection. Excellent WiFi connection.
Amazing place. Lovely rooms. Spectacular breakfast. Within easy walking distance of waterfront and downtown.
Great location and accomodation. Peter, the host its a great person and gives many information. They are so kind.
Very nice guesthouse in Swakop. Unfortunately we spent only one day there but we liked it very much. Good location.
Excellent apartment with all kinds of comforts. Great kindness of the owners. Unforgettable and relaxing experience!
Lovely place to re cooperate after a busy few days in Sossusvlei and a couple of long journeys. Very friendly and helpful owners
A really top class B&B - we had a mini apartment ! Excellent service and food, and advice re restaurants - they even booked for us ..
Only had an evening here but the owners were friendly and the apartment would have been great for a longer stay to make the most of it.
Terrific reception at corner stone taken to apartment made dinner reservation for us plenty of room in apartment great views close everything
We stayed at Atlantic Apartment, very swish and spacious for 2 people, nice position by the sea but 5 minute walk to breakfast (or short drive).
Perfect location within walking distance of Tyger Reef Bar, Tug restaurant, beach promenade and town. Amazing house to rent with everything you could ask for.
Very convenient so that we could walk everywhere. I would not want to arrive in Swakopmund on a Saturday afternoon as everything then very shut, also on Sunday.
We had 3 nights here, very nice comfortable B&B. Helpful staff, recommended places to eat etc. Not sure we needed 3 nights in Swakop, 2 would probably have been enough
We stayed at An Mole Apartment and it was fantastic. Right on beach, spotless, spacious, quality fittings, safe lock up car park, short walk to town or for coastal walk or biking.
We stayed in Morenga gardens which was a beautiful apartment so convenient to the centre of Swakopmund. Perfect half way through the holiday to do some washing, and some self catering.
We stayed at `Atlantik Sicht` and had allways breakfast at the main house. We have no words to describe our pleasure! Far exceed our expectations. The sunset at the sea view from our balcony was fantastic. Really `Atlantik Sicht`!
We loved the quaintness of these accommodations. Peter was a wonderful breakfast host each morning. Swakopmund was a lovely place to relax and explore. We also enjoyed our dinners that Allison booked at the Tug, and Jetty restaurants.
Excellent. Quiet, clean and comfortable and within walking distance of the centre of Swakopmund. Breakfast was good. Car parking was secure within the grounds of the property. Reception staff were helpful and friendly. A good choice when staying in Swakopmund.
This wonderful guesthouse has yet to reach the pages of guide books. It is an absolute gem - a haven in the tourist town of Swakopmund. Peter is a fantastic host and his warmth makes for a very special stay. Its accommodation and service are tasteful and impeccable.
We loved this guesthouse in Swakopmund--very comfortable and only a short walk to restaurants and other sites. We had a family room, with 2 foldout beds for the kids and a separate bedroom for the adults. The room was like a little apartment, complete with a kitchen area.
