"Strand Hotel review"
2 nights Arrived 5 Nov 2016
"We stayed here for two nights. The hotel has been beautifully renovated, there are photos and maps of days gone by throughout the hotel. The rooms are fresh, clean and comfortable.
The breakfasts at the Farmhouse Deli are great and have a wonderful selection of delicious food.
The service throughout the hotel is very good.
The great location makes this hotel a ideal place to stay.
Whilst in Swakopmund, these travellers took a day trip to Sandwich Harbour, here's what they said about it:
What a great tour to Sandwich Harbour. Our guide Burger collected us at our hotel and we drove through Walvis Bay stopping to see the bird life on the way. We had an adventurous drive down along the coast to Sandwich Harbour stopping at points of interest pointed out by Burger. We stopped for a lovely lunch and climbed the sand dunes. We came back through the dunes, spotting Springbok and seals.
Burger was fun, knowledgeable and really made our day out more of an experience. Well worth the day out." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana

"Strand Hotel -amazing laundry service!"
1 night Arrived 23 Aug 2016
"New modern comfortable hotel on the Mole, our room overlooked the sea and one morning we saw a dolphin swim in quite close to shore.
Very comfortable and with exceptionally good housekeeping staff – with the fastest laundry service we have ever come across! We stayed twice - on our second stopover, which was after our camping trip, the exceptional laundry service was a god send!
The food was also very good and all staff were very helpful." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Strand Hotel review"
2 nights Arrived 19 Aug 2016
"Very comfortable stay and good location.
Whilst here, we organised several trips for this family. They commented about the 4WD day to Sandwich Harbour:
This was one of our top highlights of the trip. Our guide was excellent, very funny and very knowledgeable.
We loved every minute of this day trip, the kids in particular loved hiking up the sand dunes and running dow them! Sandwich harbour itself, and the drive along the beach, is simply stunning and the sun came out for us at 12pm. Spectacular and a delicious lunch also.
Huge thanks to Expert Africa for having advised us to do this.
They also commented about the morning trip kayaking with seals:
We loved this trip, and Naude was a wonderful guide. Delicious sandwiches after too!" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Foggy Strand Hotel"
2 nights Arrived 15 Aug 2016
"Great hotel, and very nice athmosfere. the location is superb
We asked for an upgrade to a Suite in order to have a balcony and great view of the Ocean, the upgrade was not that expensive.
We had dinner at the Ocean Cellar, and it was very nice. Excellent breakfast
I would inform your customer that in Swakopmund morning ad afternoons are really foggy and cold, we were scared the first day but that we had a beautiful warm sunny day" See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
