"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
Breakfast was still served at the main lodge and that was only a few hundred meters away. In general everything was conveniently close by.
One small thing was regarding the garage we had at the appartment. On the first day the gate wasn't working, but this was quickly fixed. But then we found out that our 4x4 only barely fit inside the garage. It wasn't really a problem as it did still fit, and otherwise there would have been plenty of parking space on the street."

"Atlantic Sicht apartment "
The apartment is in a fantastic location, with stunning views over the ocean especially as the sun sets. The middle of town is a short walk away but the apartment was mostly quiet, with private parking, great wifi and all you need for a comfortable stay. However it could definitely do with some updating, and wasn't as clean as we would have liked.
The check in process from Cornerstone guesthouse was friendly and helpful, and on the 2 occasions we ate breakfast there, the food was good and the service friendly, if distant. We definitely felt that we had made the right choice to stay at the apartment, rather than the guesthouse, which didn't feel was appropriate for a family with youngish children.
Swakopmund was the only place I visited in Namibia which I personally didn't particularly like, but the rest of the family thoroughly enjoyed a few days in town, especially their dinner at The Tug and a visit to the local snake park." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
"An der Mole Apartment review"
very affordable, lovely oceanfront location, comfortable and roomy. LAUNDRY facilities in the apartment was a very big deciding factor in My decision to stay here. Swakopmund is a gem. Definitely recommend a visit to the town." See all these reviews: 7n in Zambia; 5n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
"Charming welcome at the Cornerstone"
The wonderful breakfast was well worth the short walk from the apartment and we looked forward to it every day, so thank you Peter and staff. Peter is the perfect host. When I mentioned we'd not been able to watch Wales play its first Rugby World Cup match because the apartment TV didn't have a great picture, he had it fixed the same day in time to see the highlights!
The only thing that might bother some people (perhaps with larger cars than us) was a couple of tight squeezes to park in the secure garage at the apartment block." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Cornerstone Guesthouse Review"
The following morning we drove to the Cornerstone Guesthouse for an excellent breakfast.
We would recommend the apartment not only for a stopover, but for a longer stay. You can't do justice to it in only one night!" See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia
