Bed and Breakfast Driftwood Guesthouse
Corner Riesle & 2nd Avenue Swakopmund, 9000 Swakopmund, Namibia – Great location - show map
Design and layout Located near the beach Breakfast on order
NamibiaWe really enjoyed our stay at Driftwood Guesthouse. The room was well designed and very clean, and the breakfast was extremely delicious. We loved the claw-foot tub in the bathroom, and we also enjoyed the balcony with a view of the ocean in the distance. The staff members were also extremely nice and helpful. This guesthouse is located in a more residential neighborhood of Swakopmund and is not located in the main tourist section of town; however, taxis were easy to hire at the front desk, and the ride into town took approximately 10 minutes (at most).
NetherlandsBreakfast was absolutely lovely, made to order and extremely filling - a great value for the money and served by friendly staff.
NamibiaWe liked very much the rooms, bathrooms inside, very stylish, comfy and enough space. The welcome of the staff was absolutely great. Overall the staff were very helpful with just everything we asked. The breakfast and rooms were fantastic compared to all other lodges/places we have been staying before, and that were quite a few in the same price range or above!!
SwitzerlandCharming in many ways! The owner pays a lot of attention to small details - she even baked gluten free muffins especially for me! The delivery of a hot water bottle every evening around 19:00 was also quite cute.
South AfricaThe property was spotlessly clean. Also, the location was fantastic, the beach is visible from some rooms, and they have bikes to rent for a small fee if you feel like exploring.
United States of Americavery beautifully furnished & decorated rooms & overall facility; friendly & helpful staff, thanks again to receptionist Helena for providing us with restaurant recommendations & making a reservation for us; awesome & delicious breakfast with standard continental breakfast items nicely arranged on a personal tray per table + selection of warm breakfast items to order from the kitchen; complimentary cherry & homemade cookies in the room; FINALLY, MY PERSONAL HIGHLIGHT: finding a prepared heating pad under your blanket when going to bed (sooo good given thr chilly weather in swakop...)
AustriaBig room with a balcony, all perfectly clean and decorated tastefully. Very comfortable bed, nice bathroom with shower and bathtub. Great breakfast, all the staff very friendly and helpful.
SwitzerlandThe homey feel the place offered, the peacefulness and privacy. I especially loved that they allowed me to stay past the checking out time due to transport.
NamibiaIt was our anniversary and they made everything so special. We will definately be back

Driftwood is small, cozy well located and very authentic. Even though Driftwood Guesthouse is brand new opening its doors in May 2017, we have been in the industry for years, in our group we boast a lodge in Etosha, guesthouse in Windhoek aswell as a Hotel in Swakopmund.
I am a born Namibian, who loves travelling and the tourism industry.
The guesthouse is situated one street from the ocean, in a quite neighbourhood. Its located close enough to town centre but far enough from all the crowds to make it authentic and quite... so you can experience the real Swakopmund.
