"Sam's Giardino review"
During their stay at Sam’s Giardino, these clients headed out on a day trip to Sandwich Harbour. They said about that this was ‘Great experience. Definitely worth it.’
They also tried out the kayaking at Walvis Bay and thought it was ‘Something a bit different where you have to be active. Happy we did it.’" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

We also had dinner at Sam's one evening, which was very nice and good value with a very nice bottle of wine chosen for us by Sam.
We also ate at the Tug one evening and can highly recommend the Crayfish." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

Pelican Point kayaking excursion
Jeanne was an excellent guide who made the whole experience come alive. She also took numerous photographs throughout the morning which she delivered on a CD to our hotel that night.
Without doubt the highliught of the holiday due mainly to the consideration and professional attitude of Jeanne." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Sam's Giardino review"
The rooms were nice. Wine tasting for amateurs like us was a pleasent expirience. Good food and the most compleete breakfast during our month in Namibia.
We also tried the Turnstone tour to Sandwich Harbour with Ernest. Because of his excellent guiding a great expirience.
Ernest was the perfect guide. He could take you anywere - and you would have a good experience. Was wery friendly to our children and first of all full of interesting information about the nature we passed. Driving through the high dunes were a highlight for our children - amazing where a land rover can go!! Walking around the saltwater lagoon was beatifull. Altogether a fantastic day, highly recommended!" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

Only drawback was distance from other Swakopmund restaraunts - not really OK to walk back at night. Suspect the food was very good but we'd pre-booked dinner at the Tug restaurant, which Id been to before." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
