"A welcome stop in Swakopmund"
The room was comfortable and breakfast excellent. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful.
We took a day's trip with Turnstone tours to Sandwich harbour and can thoroughly recommend this especially for bird enthusiasts. One thing to note however is that drivers cannot always reach the harbour due to the state of the tides. Luckily our driver managed.
We ate at two restaurants - The Tug.......good food and very quick service if you are in a hurry(!) - and The Secret Garden.......a bistro type restaurant with really great pizzas." See all these reviews: 2n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa

"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
Day trip to Sandwich Bay was really good. Lovely drive along the beach and a bit of dune bashing. Beautiful Bay surrounded by dunes. Huge numbers of flamingoes and Guide was knowledgeable and made it interesting, but we were put off with his unrequested views on the 'fact' that the whites had in no way taken any land from the local tribes in SA and Namibia.
Astonished by the huge Chinese harbour development work at Walvis and their road structures into the mining areas in the hinterland." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Excellent Guesthouse"
We were less impressed with Swakopmund as a town but this was just a personal view.
We eat at 3 restaurants....The Jetty 1905, The Tug, and The Fish Deli...all were good...& we’d recommend all 3." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
