"Very comfortable"
We could not eat out because we were waiting for the Duster to be delivered. They allowed us to eat a takeaway meal in the dining room." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"See comments above"
"Convenient, attractive, guest house"
We opted for reception’s recommendation of finding an evening meal at Joe’s Pub which they kindly booked and was about 15 mins walking distance away and found it a very good choice.
The beds were comfortable and our only minor problem was that we struggled to find the ceiling light switch in our first room and couldn’t then turn them off completely.
Also, Heidi prepared grapefruit for our breakfast which we couldn't eat (because, for some reason, it interferes with a course of statins), so it might be better for guests to help themselves. Having said that the staff could not have been more helpful." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
"Comfortable start to our trip"
The room was quite small, but adequate after an overnight flight. The bed was comfortable! There is a very pleasant guest area, with tea and coffee always available.
We expect that most people just pass through, like us, and this guesthouse does all that is required for that purpose." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana
