"Delightful, calm bed and breakfast"
"Villa Violet review"
Normal breakfast was fine but packed breakfast was inedible." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
The owners have assured us that they will take great care to ensure that the breakfast packs are as good as possible.
Namibia's municipality has issued a hosepipe ban across the country for the foreseeable future due to drought conditions and it has become mandatory that pool covers be used and filling private pools has been banned. This unfortunately makes it harder for the owners to maintain their pools to a high standard.

"Great overnight stop at end of long flight"
The proprietress was very helpful with advice on dinner venues, and instructions on how to get to Joes! I was glad we had taken the later flight a day earlier, so didn't have a long drive on arrival.
It is in a quiet suburb, but convenient for the main roads in and out of town, even has a small pool,not used by us though!" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
