"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"

2 nights Arrived 30 Mar 2021
"We are a family of four (travelling with two teenagers). Our overall experience was very good at the Cornerstone Guesthouse.

We had everything we needed for our stopover at Swakopmund. The location is very central, only a few minutes from the beach, center, supermarkets, cash machines, etc. Breakfast was very good. The owners and the personnel were very friendly and helpful.

We would gladly recommend the Cornerstone Guesthouse to other travelers." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

Great bed and pillows and an excellent shower. Very helpful manager who booked restaurants and made other arrangements for us.

Also an excellent breakfast. Cereal and yoghurt, cold meats and cheeses as well as cooked egg options." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Great location and hospitality"

2 nights Arrived 19 Jan 2020
"Good location, easy to find, prompt acknowledgement, and secure parking. Good local advice not only about attractions, but also about safety. Provided a mobile phone with direct contact to owners.

The gardens were gorgeous, we wanted to stay longer just to enjoy the stunning garden and little patio.

Swakopmund was a good place to stay with plenty of restaurants, bars/cafes with good food and beverage service.

The breakfasts were fresh and tasty. The staff were very welcoming and prompt with their service of tea/coffee/the offer of cooked eggs.

The C35 and C34 on the way to Swakopmund had lots of road works (tarring the road) so transit times may change this year" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
