Windhoek Country Club Resort

5 of 5 stars
Teesside
Oct 2, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed 2 nights at the beginning and four nights at the end of a three week touring holiday in Namibia.We knew the hotel was located away from the city but there was a courtesy bus available. Had a room overlooking the pool area on our first visit and requested same room for our return. We were not disappointed and we... more

Hilltop House

Oct 1, 2008

The place was a stopover, and not the destination in itself. However, the place has a charm of it's own. It is situated in a quiet and safe neighborhood. It has a beautiful garden with swimming pool (we went there in August/September, so it was too cold to swim). The stuff and management ware extremely helpful, even allowing us to... more

Hotel Heinitzburg

Sep 28, 2008

Stayed one night at the end of our honeymoon in Namibia. The hotel itself is on a nice elevated site over the city and is fairly basic in terms of the rooms. They are nice but don't expect the Ritz. For me what stood out was the standard of the food in the restaurant and watching the sun going down... more

Hotel Thuringer Hof

Sep 25, 2008

This hotel was selected for us as part of a group tour that started in Windhoek. It certainly doesn't sound like the same place described in a previous review as a boutique property. This is a plain-jane, non-descript hotel, with very little to recommend it other than it puts a roof over your head, the rooms are clean, and the... more

Olive Grove

5 of 5 stars
Dublin, Ireland
Sep 24, 2008

We stayed here for one night at the end of a three week trip to Namibia. Apart from some nice farmstays we had been camping for the whole trip so the Olive Grove was a welcome treat at the end of our visit. It is located about a 10/15 min walk from the city centre in a nice residential area,... more

Windhoek Country Club Resort

4 of 5 stars
Boksburg
Sep 23, 2008

Hotel is perfect for business and family travellers. Location to the regional airport is perfect if you intend to fly to other destinations in Namibia. Hotel rooms have recently been upgraded and are clean. Good variety of TV channels. The golf course is a good challange in the heat. Staff is friendly however some of the food on the buffet... more

Amani Lodge

Sep 18, 2008

We had been 2 years ago at the amani lodge. The lodge himself is very beautiful, the food fabulous and the owner and his son are extraordinary people. Unfortunately some money was stolen out of our room which was closed. Later we read that this happend to other people as well. We found it a bit disappointing that inspite of... more

Rivendell Guest House

4 of 5 stars
Belfast, United Kingdom
Sep 14, 2008

We stayed at the Rivendell Guest House , Beethoven Street, Windhoek, on two occasions during our holiday. Firstly from the 4th – 7th August and secondly from the 10th – 11th August 2008. My party consisted of two adults and two children (aged 9 and 7 years). We found staff to be very helpful and they made us feel at... more

Zebra River Lodge

Sep 7, 2008

The lodge is located in the Tsaris mountains, at the mouth of a deep canyon. It is surrounded by several other canyons and hills. It is very isolated, and the 5 km. drive from the main road is difficult for sedan cars, but it's worth it! If you like hiking, you'll love this place. There are, as far as I... more

Hotel Thuringer Hof

Sep 7, 2008

We stayed our first night in Windhoek in this hotel. It was an ok experience. It had maybe 15 rooms and a bar/restaurant on the first floor. The location was very convienent for exploring the city. The room was small, but clean with a small TV and a coffee maker (didn't use it). The price included breakfast which was very... more

Tamboti Guest House

Sep 7, 2008

We stayed two different nights in Tamboti - one in the middle of our trip and one at the end of our trip. It is a lovely guesthouse. Very clean and the staff was friendly and accomodating. The decoration is simple and the rooms have the standard amenities. What stood out for us was the yummy breakfast, internet, bar, pool,... more

Olive Grove

4 of 5 stars
Dublin
Sep 6, 2008

I stayed here for several weeks when on business in Namibia a few years ago and found it a much more pleasant experience than my even longer stay at the Country Club resort where I was originally placed by the travel agent. The managers of the Olive Grove really did try to make me feel it was a home from... more

Afrika Farm Ondekaremba

5 of 5 stars
Sydney
Sep 6, 2008

If you are looking for accommodation close to Windhoek airport you should take a look at Afrika Farm Ondekaremba. It's a great place if you have an early flight out of Windhoek or arrive late and don't want to travel all the way into town. Airport pick-ups/drop-offs can be arranged. The farm has a variety of accommodation and offers packages... more

Hilltop House

Sep 6, 2008

HH became more and more special the better we knew it. (We spent our first two nights there and then went back twice). Alan, the owner, is a gentle, kind and thoughtful soul. He did everything in his power to make our lives easier and as safe and comfortable as he could. We pointed out a couple of problems: problem... more

Guesthouse Terra Africa

Sep 1, 2008

We visited Terra Africa at the beginning of our trip and came back at the end. The hosts are wonderful, friendly, funny and very relaxed. Very entertaining. Very nice, big quiet clean rooms. Several areas to relax. Good breakfast. The best B&B we had in Namibia. Highly recommended. more

Jordani B&B Windhoek

Aug 31, 2008

We booked this B&B in person 4 weeks before arrival. We were shown the room we would be getting and given a price in writing. On arrival at the specified check-in time, the owner did not want to honour the quoted price, did not have the room available and told us we were two hours early. It was the most... more

Kalahari Sands Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Helsinki, Finland
Aug 31, 2008

I believe this is the place to stay in Windhoek. Also my embassy uses the hotel for their guests. This high-rise hotel is located in a good shopping center including a grocery store. The location of the hotel is very central, all sights and shopping is within very close walking distance, including also South African Airways town office. During my... more

Villa Verdi

Aug 29, 2008

Simply Terrible. It would be the worst place we have ever stayed. The room was dark and cold. The airconditioner didn't work so the staff provided electric blankets and heater. Sometimes the hot water worked. The place had a spooky feel to it. The food wasn't too bad though. But don't buy any wine. At US$ 50 for an ordinary... more

Zebra River Lodge

Aug 28, 2008

If you really want to get away from it all in wild country but fully catered here is the spot for you. more

Okapuka Ranch

Aug 28, 2008

Had a fabulous week here. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Good food and plenty of it to fill the gaps after riding and game viewing. Rooms clean and bright. more
