"Lovely friendly guesthouse"

1 night Arrived 11 Sep 2016
"We were greeted with a friendly welcome and a refreshing drink. This guesthouse was clean, airy and beautifully decorated. It was a great introduction to Namibia. Breakfast was freshly made to order and the muesli was particularly tasty.

Complimentary tea and coffee was available at all times.

This guesthouse was ideal either for a 1st or last night in Windhoek." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Cosy and friendly"

1 night Arrived 23 Oct 2015
"Only a small guesthouse, but just what we needed. Matilda looked after all our needs and cooked a fine breakfast as well.

a taxi was arranged to take us to Joe's Beerhouse a few minutes away and to bring us back. Don't miss it for a really different environment, we have never seen anything like it, outside or in. The interior/exterior designers must have scoured every flea market / junkshop / skip in southern Africa to get all the items with which the place is adorned. The food and beer were great and the service was better than expected, but......

Do the staff enjoy working there? Smiles were not very frequent anywhere!" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Great start to holiday at Elegant"

1 night Arrived 20 Jul 2015
"Elegant Guesthouse was very easy to find from the international Airport.

Although Windhoek is not hard to drive in Elegant is on the edge nearest the airport and this makes navigation easy. Rooms were a good size with comfy beds. Short 5 min walk to Joes Beer House as well - great place to eat zebra and drink good beer." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
