"Great place to stay"

1 night Arrived 5 Sep 2014
"I bought a bow and arrow set from the Bushmen at Nhoma and it was too long to fit in my luggage. The staff at Elegant guesthouse advised me that it would have to be wrapped with bubble wrap to carry on to the airplane. She searched storage and found some bubble wrap, then wrapped my bow. I carried it onto the air plane with no problem until I arrived in the States. The airlines then put the bow with the luggage and it safely arrived home."

"Elegant Guesthouse review"

1 night Arrived 26 Aug 2014
"The staff were friendly and the room was good. It was an overnight stopover after the flight and was very good from that point of view. The breakfast was good and cooked by a very friendly, happy member of the team.

The location was ok but the staff were very keen that we did not walk out in the evening for safety reasons." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Elegant Guesthouse review"

1 night Arrived 27 Jul 2014
"This was a clean, peaceful place and an ideal way to rest and recover from our flight. It was easy to find and on the right side of Windhoek for the airport. Shops and resaurants were within easy reach.

The receptionist provided advice about where to eat and booked our table, ensuring that it was somewhere warm." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
