"Just what we needed. "
We spent two nights here, and enjoyed the breakfast and friendly staff. We were away on activities during the days, and enjoyed dinners out." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

We had two nights in Swapokmund and felt that was one too many.
Whilst here, we organised a Pelican Point Kayaking trip for these travellers. They commented:
Get your fingers nibbled by baby seals
A real highlight of the trip. Jeanne who runs these kayaking trips with her husband has been doing it for years and has perfected it. Everything you might need is provided and you are guaranteed to see seals close up - baby seals will even come up and nibble your fingers if you want them to - which I did! If you are lucky you may see dolphins too. Jeanne takes photos of you in your two-man kayak and emails them to you that evening. The drive out to the launch point goes past bays full of pink flamingos.
Highly recommended." See all these reviews: 24n in Namibia

Hotel helpful and booked evening meals at the Jetty and Kukis. The latte was rather surreal to find typical Herman beer cellar in the middle of Africa." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
