Can easily buy a permit in town for the Welwitschia Drive if doing that." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia
"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
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"
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"
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.
