"Attractive, relaxing place with pretty garden"

1 night Arrived 30 Oct 2009
"Our room was spotless and large with a private outside sitting area which we enjoyed. The garden and pool area is an attractive place to sit with trees giving welcome shade. Good choice at breakfast, including cooked options.

The Haus is in a pleasant residential area with large trees giving a green and shaded backdrop. It is not in walking distance of Windhoek but is a attractive, quiet place to stay and excellent value." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Haus Sonneneck review"

1 night Arrived 25 Aug 2009
"Although we had been promised a family room here, this was already taken and we were given two separate rooms. But Gisela was very apologetic and the rooms were large, clean and comfortable.

Breakfast was a good buffet and the swimming pool was enjoyed by the boys. We were kindly allowed to stay beyond the usual 10am check-out to sort out our suitcases ready for our flight home that evening.

This place had a relaxed and kindly feel and was a good place to spend our last night, although in hindsight, it would perhaps have been nice to be a bit more centrally situated in Windhoek so that we could have walked round a little more without having to take the car."

"Haus Sonneneck review"

1 night Arrived 18 Jun 2009
"An excellent place to either start or end a holiday. The owner directed us to Joe's Bar for our evening meal which was good fun.

The long tables which you share with other English speaking people was a great idea (providing you are of a sociable nature) and later you could sit close to the huge fire in the middle of the circle of tables and reflect on your holiday experiences." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Another pleasant night stop"

1 night Arrived 14 Sep 2008
"Yet another very pleasant and friendly guest house in a convenient location. Again our hosts' restaurant recommendations were excellent and we both enjoyed the huge feast of the Sunday Buffet at Joe's Beer Garden.

We had to leave at 5.15am the following morning to catch an early flight from Windhoek and so were not able to enjoy the breakfast hospitality. However we were both given a generous packed breakfast to see us on our way.

While in Windhoek, we took a lovely little drive out to Dal Viljoen National Park some 20 km away and spent a pleasant couple of hours walking by the lake." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 3n in South Africa; 1n in Zambia

"Perfect start to our holiday in Namibia"

2 nights Arrived 25 Jul 2008
"Very welcoming and helpful owners - and sausage dog! The family room was perfect for us, it was very large, so even though there were beds for all 5 of us, it didn't seem small or squashed. The room was comfortable and well appointed. The minibar and use of fridge was good. The private patio outside was lovely and the children enjoyed playing out there. The breakfast was great with a good selection of food and very relaxed, which was just what we needed after our long flight.

We liked the peaceful location, but also liked the fact that we were able to get to the centre of Windhoek in very little time. Gisela and Rudolph made us very welcome as did Ulli (?) the dachshund. The pool area was nice but as we were there in winter, not in use! This was the perfect start to our holiday!" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 3n in Zambia
