"OK"
"Sea Breeze Guesthouse review"
Located a distance from the centre of the old town, happily a new-ish mall is nearby with food outlets and a new restaurant "Blue Grass" which opened earlier that week. Blue Grass has a pleasant atmosphere. We had a good meal although the service was a bit slow, it is finding its feet.
We also had dinner at "The Wreck". We had an excellent meal and good service.
Swakopmund has grown a lot since we were last there in 1999.

"Sea Breeze Guesthouse review"
Benny and his family gave us the warmest welcome and within 5 minutes all our activities were booked, dinner reservations made and tea served.
Sea Breeze is slightly out of town, but that's what we were looking for and as long as you're happy with that you couldn't find a fault. We'd not think of staying anywhere else in Swakopmund." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"A great little B&B"
We were also lucky that we arrived in and departed Swakopmund in sunny weather which gave us the opportunity to "walk the sights"." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 3n in South Africa
"Sea Breeze Guesthouse review"
It is fair to say that Swakopmund was something of a disappointment, the town's archictecture was not as expected.
We did though thorougly enjoy the activities ( boat trip at Walvis Bay, Sandboarding and Quadbiking) and found the town's tourist information highly efficent." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 6n in Botswana; 1n in Zambia
"Sea Breeze Guesthouse review"
A little out of town, but not so as to cause any issues. Good to have a night watchman." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

room and facilities good - having a bath was a real bonus. breakfast OK" See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Aptly named Sea Breeze"
It was a long walk into town which was not to be recommended after dark only because of no lighting. Taking the car was no trouble, with plenty of parking (watched by attendants) for a few dollars. We liked the location of Sea Breeze although it was a little out of the town. To be able to walk down to the shoreline and breath in that invigorating air was great.
There's lots to see in this area which could keep you busy for few days," See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Not recommended."
Giancarlo was charming, however - no reflection on him. Two nights would have been enough for us, rather than three - an extra night in Etosha instead would have been great.
We went on a day trip to Sandwich Bay with Turnstone tours which was expensive but very good. The guide, Ernest, was excellent very knowledgable and friendly. Would recommend to others." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
Namibia’s coastal weather can be cold, windy and often foggy in the mornings. Guest houses like this provide blankets and heaters, but what they do to make up for the weather is limited.
The sea is lovely to look at – but often swathed in fog. Sea-view rooms might seem like a good idea here, but most of the hotels are away from the sea. Hence, the ‘suburban’ feel to the location – and the drive to the centre of town.
