"Very pleasant guesthouse. They truly went out of their way to find the food I could eat for breakfast.
Host & Hostess were very helpful with all information about the area.
We went on a tour to the sand dunes with Turnstone Tours which was an excellent tour." See all these reviews: 14n in Botswana; 12n in Namibia

1 night Arrived 4 May 2012
"The room was good, a bit on the small side. Breakfast was very good and the staff was very friendly.
The location was good....we wished we had two days there instead of one because we enjoyed the town so much." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

Feedback Response
Cornerstone Guesthouse have asked that we note although they don't offer any activities of their own, they are be happy to arrange any of the multitude of activities available in Swakopmund for their guests including, but not limited to, dolphin cruises, desert tours, quad-biking excursions and scenic flights.

"Owner and all staff were very friendly and helpful.
The room was quite nice, with plenty of room to spread out and several nice little touches, including cookies with the tea and coffee. The garden was lovely. Location in downtown was perfect.
Highly recommend." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Friendly guesthouse"
2 nights Arrived 9 Oct 2011
"A friendly guesthouse set in lovely gardens and within easy walking distance of the shops and restaurants and very easy to find on arrival. The bedroom was a good size and it was nice to have a fridge and TV in the room.
The bathroom however was rather small and the layout did not work very well." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
2 nights Arrived 22 Sep 2011
"Really enjoyed Swakopmund and the guesthouse. Friendly staff who made restaurant bookings and gave general advice.
Room was spacious, bathroom even more so. Impressed by the international electrical sockets. Lovely gardens and generally relaxed atmosphere. Good supermarkets and restaurants in the town and safe to walk around after dark which added to the enjoyment.
Whilst here, Expert Africa arranged a 'Day trip to Sandwich Harbour' about which these travellers commented:
Delightful Day in the Dunes
Probably the best day of the whole trip, which is saying a lot. Ernest from Turnstone Tours was enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable, skillful and seemed genuinely pleased by the group's enjoyment. Part of the wonderful experience was walking along the Skeleton Coast (seeing a jackal on the way), climbing up into the dunes and enjoying the solitude while Ernest went back for the Landrover (and our boots). He picked us up, drove on a bit more and then stopped for an impressive lunch before taking us back to see the flamingos and the pink salt pans. Great experience.
Enjoyed these dunes even more than those at Sossusvlei because we were alone, they seemed more remote because of the dramatic way the dunes met the sea" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Again excellent accomodation and service.
The staff were very helpful in advising and taking post while dealing with a problem with Budget, the car hire company. We had an excellent trip in Walvis Bay and the sand dunes while here. The restaurants in the town were also very good with a wide range of choice." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe
