"Villa Violet review"
We went exploring Windhoek which was interesting although the main museum was disappointing. There was a lack of narrative to support the photos.
We returned to the Stellenbosch wine bar which was excellent." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Villa Violet review"
Windhoek lacks the walkability of Swakopmund and is less pleasant to explore but there are lovely spots here and there and Villa Violet was one of those places.
Quiet and comfortable room, gentle and helpful staff, and proximal to the route to the airport for the next morning." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"Villa Violet - a flying visit"
In our opinion it is suitable as a one night stop over - it’s in the suburbs of Windhoek so if you wanted to see the city perhaps not the best location." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
