"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
The room was very spacious, there was a lounge suite and a twin bed in the room with space to spare! The bathroom was also really large and modern. So for the first time we could really unpack, have our laundry done and find time for working on our photos, journal etc but of course also make trips.
The staff was very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was good.
The location was also fine, we could walk into town, but unfortunately we could not go for a coffee or lunch as all places were closed because of lockdown.
From Swakopmund we also visited the Cape Cross Seal colony, very impressive. A trip to Walvis Bay was also interesting, seeing the flamingo's and walking along the waterfront." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Great location and hospitality"
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
