"Ideal place to stay after a long flight"
Our standard room was situated in a little courtyard, which was planted out with amazing architectural cacti. Apart from the glass in our door, the only other light coming into the room was from a larger window but this was too high up on the wall to see out - but it did at least give us privacy. Very modern bathroom with a great overhead shower. TV, safe, filtered water in a jug, kettle with tea and coffee, hairdryer and face flannels made our short stay very comfortable.
The only negative comment to make was the 2 glasses of house wine we ordered with our evening meal were minimal to say the least." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
