We offer 4 self catering units (fully equipped). The Chalets are situated at The Walvis Bay Tourism Centre which also sports a booking office for tours and activities. A souvenir shop and a second hand book store are also available on the premises. Please note that we are not located in the town centre and we are also not located near the ocean/lagoon. Both the town centre and lagoon are a five minute drive away.
We enjoy providing guests with affordable, neat and comfortable accommodation. We always welcome an open dialogue with guests and prefer that they tell us immediately if something is unsatisfactory so that we can attend to the problem immediately.
Our property is situated in a quiet neighborhood. Because Walvis Bay is not a very large city, any place is easily reachable and within a 5 minute drive. Our beautiful lagoon with thousands of flamingoes is definitely one of the main attractions, along with the waterfront and of course the various activites such as Sandwich Harbour, Kayaking with the Seals and Boat Cruises.
