"First Stop Galton House"
The manager was worried about us and called the Wilderness Safaris person at the airport to make sure we had arrived. Just took forever getting the car rentals and MTC cards. But, very sweet of her to check on us.
The rooms are a nice size with a large restroom, hot shower. Excellent breakfast with made to order eggs, toast, sausage, bacon, etc. They accommodate our early breakfast and departure, as we wanted to get on the road not knowing exactly how long the drive would take.
Gated and secure parking area. Nice neighborhood of more upscale homes. There are some random dogs barking at night. But, other than that, very quiet area.
Honor system with the beer and wine in the kitchen, which is nice, so you don't have to find anyone to assist you. Just grab a beer and write it down.
Had we stayed more than one night we would have stayed in for dinner, but had to do the obligatory trip to Joe's Beerhouse. The kitchen smelled really good.
Friendly and attentive staff. Would definitely stay here again." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
