"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.
