"Haus Sonneneck review"
"Haus Sonneneck review"
It was a little deserted and hard to find some help but when we found staff the help was given.
A shame the pool was not open as our children love water cold or hot. Breakfast was a feast and really delicious." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Ordinary B&B "
A bit deflated by experience and Joes Beer Restaurant did not make up for deficiencies." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"OK start to our trip"
Perfectly adequate room although not ultra-comfortable !
Stayed 2 nights - unfortunately 2nd day was Sunday so centre of Windhoek was very quiet. Joe's beerhouse was open & was a fun place for a meal (good food too).
Shame the pool was not in use due to water restrictions, however pleasant gardens to relax in (though the easy chairs around the pool were in need of a good clean)" See all these reviews: 23n in Namibia

"Haus Sonneneck review"
The room was very comfortable with "all mod cons", including aircon and fridge..
Breakfast was a huge spread of food, some of which got squirrelled away in our cool bag for a picnic lunch on our trip south. Our hosts were very helpful again with directions, although there was really only one road! Rehoboth was the main stopping place: the second garage on the left had the best toilets! Interesting town history of the Baster community." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
"Pleasant guesthouse in Windhoek"
A good place to stay on our first night - roomy if sparsely furnished accommodation with comfortable beds. Good breakfast, eggs cooked to order.
Pretty grounds, pool out of use due to water restrictions." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana; 1n in Zimbabwe
"Haus Sonneneck review"
"Warm welcome at Haus Sonneneck"
The accommodation was clean and beds comfortable. Sadly right outside our accommodation which backed onto our garden building work was in progress which started early in the morning and finished late at night. The owner did explain to us that she had complained on numerous occasions regarding this but sadly came up against a brick wall. However if you had a different room I don't think this would effect you.
Breakfast was good, you do have to go out into town for your evening meal which was safe and no problem." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia
"Haus Sonneneck review"
From a personal perspective, we would have been better to have slightly changed our arrival and departure day as both of our days in Windhoek were Sundays and pretty much everything was shut by lunch time." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Pleasant and friendly B&B"
Only a short distance from Joes' Beerhouse for a good dinner at each end of our holiday. We drove ourselves on the first occasion but walked there in daylight and got a taxi back the second time. The staff at the Beerhouse arranged a taxi and saw us into it, ensuring that the cab was genuine." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
