"Villa Margherita review"
It might be worth advising people to ring ahead to avoid disappointment. It's common sense I guess but I didn't think about it.

"space and comfort"
"Villa Margherita review"
As we were tired Saturday evening we decided to eat in. Limited choice of food (note we were told [Ed: by other travellers] this was a recommended Italian restaurant), steak only on offer and in comparison was expensive.
The restaurant is closed on Sunday evenings." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
So if you choose to dine here, then we would hope that the very private and home-cooked dining experience would make up for the lack of a vast menu.

"Villa Margherita review"
We ate in on the second day and we had the whole place to ourselves, which was quite strange, but we had a very nice italian meal with real italian ingredients.
The trip to sandwich harbour with our guide Ernest was really informative and fun, especially the dune driving!! This was one of the tours on the trip we shall not forget!!
Ernest our guide was a little like Crocodile Dundee, a wonderful man with a great personality and hugely knowledgeable and you were left feeling that you had experienced something unique to your own holiday... A lovely trip out to Sandwich Harbour was complimented by interesting local knowledge, a strong sense of humour and wonderful rapport with our fellow travellers. A real joy!!"
