We walked to restaurants for dinner twice & had no issues. The owners of the place will help you find the nearby places such as gas stations, shopping malls etc. Heidi helped us make a dinner reservation when we arrived which was a nice touch & allowed us to relax after long flights."

The only negative is that the bathroom facilities are not well screened from the rest of the room.
They were helpful in booking a table for us at a local restaurant" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"The Elegant Bed & Breakfast review"
As we did not want to drive ourselves, we used taxis to go downtown and to Joe's. At N$50 for each taxi ride, Joe's trip is a little pricey, but since walking is not a choice, it was our only means to get there. I'm sure we could have found enough to do to spend another day in Windhoek, but we saw what we wanted to, so we were OK with just one day.
Joe's, however, was a bit of a disappointment, but it was our choice to go there so we can blame no one else.......
The Elegant was easy to find and convenient to what we wanted to do and see." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
