"Cornerstone Guesthouse Post Covid Sept 2022"
We arrived in Swakopmund on Sunday evening and most places were closed - I think we may have had a different view of Swakopmund if we'd arrived on a different day.
We did a whale watching trip which was a great experience and we were lucky to see whales breaching. We also did a four wheel drive to Sandwich bay which we enjoyed although thinking about it afterwards we did question whether we should have considered the environmental impact a bit more?!"

Great location, just 5 minute walk into town or to the sea." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
Hosts are attentive and helpful - especially with dining suggestions - The Jetty is only a 5-10 minute walk and serves a good variety of food for evening meals.
Excellent location so easy to walk to most areas within the town and safe so walking at night is not a real issue.
Secure parking and helpful/friendly staff" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa

Accommodating hosts, who let us have breakfast early so we could get to our seal kayaking trip in time.

"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
We were directed to a restaurant on the beach ( was it called The Tug? ) It was brilliant! They were fully booked, squeezed us in and before we had our main course they moved us to a table in the window, over the sea! So memorable!
The journey from Desert Homestead to Swakopmund was so good. I can’t think of an appropriate word to describe our feelings. We just loved the changing scenery!" See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia
"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
We were located furthest from the main house so wifi was a little unreliable. It may be more reliable closer to reception.
The room was lovely, however the bathroom could've used a power point for a hair dryer." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 7n in Zambia; 5n in Rwanda; 1n in South Africa
"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
Our hosts were very friendly and helpful (arranging dinner reservations, directing us to interesting sights, giving recommendations for traveling to our next destination). The rooms were comfortable and well maintained. The grounds were beautifully kept. The location was perfect: so close to the water and restaurants/shops.
Our breakfasts were lovely (best breakfasts we had in Namibia!)." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
We stayed for just two nights, having a full day to relax and wander around the town.
A visit to the Swakopmund Museum was really worth while, providing insight into both indigenous cultures and colonial history.
Could have done with a second full day to take one of the excursions into the surrounding area." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
