Meike's Guest House

The main part of the guest house has a sunny dining room and open-plan kitchen with wide windows facing out into the garden. Décor is low-key, cheerful and modern. Breakfasts are buffet-style, and the proprietors are always happy to recommend restaurants and make reservations for lunch and dinner. There is a small lounge area with reading material and information on the many attractions, both in Swakopmund and further afield. For self-drive guests, there is safe parking on the premises.

Accommodation is in single or double rooms, with a two-bedroomed family unit, and a separate self-catering flat. Each is modern and airy, with crisp linens and splashes of bright colour. All are en-suite with walk-in showers, and well equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, a fridge, and television. The rooms open out onto private verandas and small paved gardens with outdoor chairs and tables. Most rooms are easily accessible for wheelchairs, and all have internet access.

Swakopmund is a popular holiday town on the Namibian coast with a range of activities to suit most interests. The town has a number of excellent restaurants, shops, museums and historical buildings all within easy walking distance of the guest house, and for those looking for more energetic options, there is a wide choice of adventure activities on offer. Day trips to the surrounding desert and coastal regions could include quad biking, dune boarding, and water-based activities.
