"Sorry that we missed it!"
As such we went to the House for a quick shower, change of clothes and a short breakfast before heading the road to Etosha. Thus our comments below may be treated as superfluous...." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
"Galton House review"
Area is quiet and felt extremely safe to take an evening walk in.
Family room was spacious and comfortable and bathroom good. Breakfast lovely and again, service excellent. Pool was absolutely freezing (we knew it wasn’t heated), but could perhaps do with a pool cover for nights." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Galton House review"
Our rooms were everything we needed: spotlessly clean, thoughtfully equipped and with interconnecting doors between our 2 rooms. The food was delicious, and staff were friendly and very kind to the children.
We would definitely return." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
"Galton House review"
We were pleased to be able to have dinner there, which was very good.
We had our first bottle of South African wine which was one of the best on the whole trip.
Very welcoming and a stylish place." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Galton House review"
Colin is a character and a lot of fun to have a conversation with. Both he and his staff were able to make us feel right at home and provide a welcoming atmosphere.
Being able to stay until the very last minute before leaving for the airport and use the rooms and pool without any fuss was a gift!
Next time we'll start there as well." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Good stay"
Apart from this, we found Galton House very comfortable, clean and welcoming - just 40 minutes from the airport, and in a very quiet location. Food was excellent and we would recommend that you eat at Galton House for your evening meal instead of going into town!" See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
"A perfect start to our trip"
The pool area and lounge areas were especially nice, and the open plan kitchen where you could help yourself to a hot drink or a beer from the fridge really contributed to the relaxed, home-from-home experience." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
