SWAKOPMUND REST CAMP: GROUP FUN
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Are there a few of you travelling? You need about 4-6 people, but this place is great! It’s a short walk to the swimming pool or beach, the houses (or chalets) are well equipped and you have a braai area outside your door (pictured). Here’s what you get:
    • Bathroom – plenty of hot water and sink/mirror, separate toilet room
    • Bedrooms – comfortable beds
    • Closet and loads of cabinets in the kitchen
    • Kitchen – cooker, refrigerator, sink, table, chairs
    • Outside – well maintained and your own braai!
    • Security – 24 hour manned gates, high fences and all windows lock
    • Laundry, cleaning – place to do laundry, dry, mops available

    This place is also quiet at night. If you want self catering and a low price per person – this is it in Swakopmund. The office staff are helpful with local information, maps and excursions. You are a short walk to everything in Swakopmund including a grocery store to get wood and meat for your braai! And cold beer to go in your fridge!

    You can braai everynight and meet your quiet neighbors. Evrything is close by and the price is right!

    Swakopmund Restcamp
  • Tip Rating:
  • A nice place to stay, with those rather peculiar white and blue cottages, that have a room, WC and kitchen downstairs and a sleeping room (6 beds) upstairs (44US$ per cottage). The security seems to be extreme, but our guide was robbed at night, so be extremely careful and leave valuable things at Safe Deposit. There is a big Laundry Service just by the entrance.

    Swakopmund Hotel and Entertainment Centre: Swakopmund's Railway Station Hotel
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The Swakopmund Hotel provides a good base for exploring the region. The rooms are good 4 star quality, but show their age (10-12 years). Bedding was excellent.
    Food in the restaurant was OK without being exceptional. The amount of food put out for the buffets each night was amazing considering the small number of patrons, you would wonder where it all ended up? The A la carte menu was better value. The reception staff were 5 star, we had a tour cancelled due to bad weater and while the tour company could not re-arrange anything the staff at reception overheard and matched us up with some other people on a different tour.

    300 meter walk to shops and cafes (Out of Africa Cafe is a must).
    The only Hotel in Swakopmund with a decent, but quite cold water pool.
    The upstairs balcony rooms offer good space and a large private outdoor balcony overlooking the pool.
    Great for families as the kids can walk around the hotel and pool area without any problems.

    Beach camping
  • Satisfaction:
  • There are a number of campground on the beach. It's safe and you'll end up befriend locals vacationing. It's so soothing listening to waves crashing against rocks and go for an stroll at sunrise on the beach. However, the downside is the salty, humid air will keep your things wet.
