We had a beautiful time here, we regret not booking for the whole week. The space is clean and feels homely, perfect when you are a family. WiFi is stable, and the location is perfectly situated between the tourist areas of swakopmund and Walvis Bay. The beach is about a 5 min walk and 10 mins walk to the dunes. And the beds are super comfy. I will definitely come back!! The host was very friendly and accommodative. I highly recommend.☺️
