"A return visit."
It is in a quiet area and easily navigated to, from the airport. Maggie welcomed us and as with all the staff, was very willing and helpful. We had rooms 5 and 6, both clean, spacious and well equipped. Room 6, one of two recently added rooms, is better suited to a couple as the bathroom door is only partly obscured .Our rooms looked out onto a small garden and we enjoyed sitting in the shaded garden area at the front of the premises, where the pool is now located.
We had some laundry done at Villa Violet. It was returned very quickly, washed and ironed.
A variety of options were available for breakfast and tea/coffee could be had at any time. There was also an honesty bar. Sophie, who we remembered fondly from our previous visits, booked taxis to Joe’s Beerhouse for us. Located nearby, this is an easy option for an evening meal and online reservations are available."

A lovely stopover for the start and end of your trip to Namibia. Nice gardens to relax in - and a small pool if needed.
Excellent breakfast, with freshly cooked eggs to your preference.
Secure car parking, very clean- absolutely no problem in returning to this guesthouse if we visit again" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Villa Violet review"
The room was very spacious and comfortable and just what we needed after a long day's travelling. The honesty bar is a good idea. Breakfast the following day was beautifully prepared and set us up for the long journey ahead." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Villa Violet review"
It was straightforward locating it on driving from the airport, which was important as a first experience after taking over the rental car. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated, the staff were friendly and gave good advice on transport to and from a local restaurant, and breakfast was good.
The owner was very helpful the following morning in giving advice on the best route to Sossulsviel, highlighting it on our road map." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 1n in Zimbabwe
