"Good location, great breakfast, but rooms a little tired.
Could have done without the 80's disco blasting out from a local restaurant for the best part of 12 hours on our first day though!" See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
3 nights Arrived 13 Sep 2022
"Nice large room and very helpful owner and receptionist who are keen to help with any issue connected with a stay in Swakopmund. Only downside is the poor inter room sound proofing. Fridge in the room. Lovely breakfast served in a cosy dining room.
Can easily buy a permit in town for the Welwitschia Drive if doing that." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
2 nights Arrived 12 Sep 2022
"Now this was more like it for a B&B! We had a lovely room in the garden with our own patio area. It was comfortable and had all that we needed. We were surprised to be given a basic mobile phone, pre-programmed with the hosts' numbers, in case of emergencies; what a simple, but good idea.
Breakfast was plentiful and the host was welcoming, helpful and interested.
It was a quick walk into the town and the restaurant on the opposite side of the road was excellent for an evening meal.
I will pass on that the owners also have two self catering apartments in Swakop, suitable for larger groups, and they offer breakfast at the B&B." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 7n in South Africa

"Cornerstone Guesthouse Post Covid Sept 2022"
2 nights Arrived 11 Sep 2022
"The Cornerstone Guesthouse was comfortable and the owners were friendly and helpful.
We arrived in Swakopmund on Sunday evening and most places were closed - I think we may have had a different view of Swakopmund if we'd arrived on a different day.
We did a whale watching trip which was a great experience and we were lucky to see whales breaching. We also did a four wheel drive to Sandwich bay which we enjoyed although thinking about it afterwards we did question whether we should have considered the environmental impact a bit more?!"

"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
2 nights Arrived 29 Aug 2022
"Comfortable/clean and secure B&B.
Hosts are attentive and helpful - especially with dining suggestions - The Jetty is only a 5-10 minute walk and serves a good variety of food for evening meals.
Excellent location so easy to walk to most areas within the town and safe so walking at night is not a real issue.
Secure parking and helpful/friendly staff" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa

"Cornerstone Guesthouse "
3 nights Arrived 20 Aug 2022
"Fabulous welcome here. Upon arrival we were asked if we had made any dinner reservations for our 3 night stay (as it was very busy in town) which we had not. Within an hour they had managed to reserve 3 wonderful restaurants for us. The Jetty 1905 (at the end of the pier), The Ocean Cellar (in the old town) and The Tug overlooking the Ocean. All 3 were excellent and can certainly recommend.
They also very kindly reconfirmed our excursions for the following 2 days.
Our room was very large with a lovely patio. Just a few minutes walk into town or to the ocean." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia
