1 night Arrived 2 Oct 2010
"Another great first night stay in this fabulously refurbished bolthole. Professional and friendly service with a delicious dinner and lavish breakfast on the terrace.
When our room was not quite the one we had expected the receptionist obligingly moved us without fuss." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Surreal night at the Heinitzburg Hotel"
1 night Arrived 16 Sep 2010
"Although the hotel couldn't be faulted for its service or comfort, it wasn't our type of hotel. It would have been well suited in a European city, but had no 'African' feel or connection to Namibia.
We decided to eat there that night, as the view was so good from the terrace. However, the wine list was very over-priced and the food, although good, was rather pretentious. Having waiters wearing white gloves and whisking off silver tureens in unison, felt very peculiar in the middle of a small African city." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Review of Heinitzberg"
1 night Arrived 31 Jul 2008
"We really enjoyed the views of Windhoek from the terrace. The food was excellent and the waiting staff attentive. On returning from dinner, our room had been spinkled with rose petals. The only disappointment was check-in. Having arrived at about 10 a.m., following our flight from London, it was implied that we would be able to check in early however we had to wait on the terrace until 2 p.m."

1 night Arrived 30 Nov 2007
"Another smooth paved drive into Windhoek where we enjoyed an afternoons shopping, a visit to a war cemetary and an excellent 'cordon bleu' meal in the hotel restaurant. We held our room until 4.oopm the following day and were able to swim, shower and generally lounge around until leaving for our flight home.
A nice, friendly and classy joint!" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
