95 von 100 Punkten! Sensationelles Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. 5 Punkte Abzug nur für das laufenlassen der Motoren beim benachbarten Unternehmen, da kann das Guesthouse aber natürlich nichts dafür!

Ein wunderbares Guesthouse mit persönlicher Atmosphäre in Swakopmund! Sehr geschmackvolles Driftwood-Design; es war eine Freude jeden Morgen den Frühstücksraum zu betreten. Das lag natürlich auch am hervorragenden Service, wirklich Top! Einziger "Nachteil": Stadtzentrum bisschen weit entfernt, aber unkritisch. In direkter Umgebung auch Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten ("Wurstbude" ist witzig und lecker). Insgesamt sehr zufrieden!!

Schönes Guesthouse in Strandnähe

Wir waren für 3 Nächte im Driftwood. Unsere Zimmer mit Balkon und Meerblick waren modern und stilvoll eingerichtet. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und wurde auf eine besondere Art serviert (Holztablet). Des weiteren gab es eine große Auswahl an Frühstückextras (Eierspeisen, Lachs, Pancakes ...). Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
