"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"

3 nights Arrived 14 Sep 2011
"Again excellent accomodation and service.

The staff were very helpful in advising and taking post while dealing with a problem with Budget, the car hire company. We had an excellent trip in Walvis Bay and the sand dunes while here. The restaurants in the town were also very good with a wide range of choice." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe

"Cornerstone Guesthouse review"

2 nights Arrived 10 Sep 2011
"Very friendly host !

You are given one mobile phone per room with the ability to contact the owner in case of problems - nice touch ! (although Swakopmund, like the rest of Namibia, is so safe and crime free, these were probably unnecessary)

Not all rooms were equal - we had two rooms, one was half the size of the other.. no complaints, both were OK, just one room was better. The owner did point this out and give us the choice of who had which room." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

Very useful drive in secure parking.
Centrally located for exploring Swakopmund.
In our opinion the breakfast was not as special as we read about, fairly average.
Good eating at Eriks and The Tug." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Gorgeous Cornerstone Guesthouse"

2 nights Arrived 21 Jul 2011
"In middle of residential area in Swak, everywhere walkable. Stunningly converted house, beautiful room with high quality bed linen and towels. Very luxurious. We had family room, which was really a one bed apartment with kitchen which had 2 extra beds put in. This worked fine.

Really delicious breakfast in stylish dining room. Very friendly and helpful people, got lots of good useful info. We felt comfortable and at home. We had driven through Walvis Bay and were sorry that we hadnt booked one of the guesthouses on the Esplanade with great views across the bay, but Cornerstone was so special that we didnt regret our decision. Swak was great, nice beach walks, our boys loved the crystal museum and the snake museum." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"It is necessary to book for dinner if you wish to visit a restaurant in Swakopmund - even if you are out early.

We had some difficulty but then found an excellent restaurant slightly out of the way at the Boutique Hotel" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
