"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
The room was very spacious, there was a lounge suite and a twin bed in the room with space to spare! The bathroom was also really large and modern. So for the first time we could really unpack, have our laundry done and find time for working on our photos, journal etc but of course also make trips.
The staff was very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was good.
The location was also fine, we could walk into town, but unfortunately we could not go for a coffee or lunch as all places were closed because of lockdown.
From Swakopmund we also visited the Cape Cross Seal colony, very impressive. A trip to Walvis Bay was also interesting, seeing the flamingo's and walking along the waterfront." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"
We had everything we needed for our stopover at Swakopmund. The location is very central, only a few minutes from the beach, center, supermarkets, cash machines, etc. Breakfast was very good. The owners and the personnel were very friendly and helpful.
We would gladly recommend the Cornerstone Guesthouse to other travelers." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Great location and hospitality"
The gardens were gorgeous, we wanted to stay longer just to enjoy the stunning garden and little patio.
Swakopmund was a good place to stay with plenty of restaurants, bars/cafes with good food and beverage service.
The breakfasts were fresh and tasty. The staff were very welcoming and prompt with their service of tea/coffee/the offer of cooked eggs.
The C35 and C34 on the way to Swakopmund had lots of road works (tarring the road) so transit times may change this year" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"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
