Kuhn Namibia

Relax bath with candle, amazing breakfast (above our expectations!: service, choice, taste, ...!) and very kind staff! A guardian is looking for the cars during the night. 3 km from the jetty but very nice walk to enjoy the ocean (and the wind! ;) ).

Sophie Belgium

Abelpo Namibia

Amazing property. We were made to feel very welcome for our entire stay. The room was big, clean, comfortable and beautiful. Breakfast was fantastic, service was brilliant and the beach was only a minutes walk away. Property came with parking, was a nice quiet location yet restaurants/bars etc were only a few mins drive away. We really enjoyed the extras in our room to make our stay even more perfect.

The staff was so friendly and helpful, the room comfortable and every thing we needed was there, even a bottle of red wine😉. We had a lovely view of the sea from our balcony, breakfast was really one of the best we had from all the guesthouses we stayed at. Will fully recommended Driftwood guesthouse to any one looking for accomodations in Swakopmund.

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.
