Clean, safe, comfortable property. Good breakfast and excellent service. Our room did feel quite small though and didn’t have any windows, although it had ceiling skylights so it wasn’t dark

Walking distance to shops, restaurants and beach

We stayed here for six days to chill out and explore Swakopmund and the surroundings and it was awesome. Feels a bit like staying in the country with friends. Excellent restaurants in the town eg Jetty, Tug, Hansa Hotel lunch, Village Cafe - all not to be missed! Also enjoyed trip on Walvis Bay lagoon to see marine animals and trip into the rocky desert to see desert springbok, jackals, welwitchias and other plants and spectacular rock formations.

Alles perfekt, nett und zentral gelegen

Das Cornerstone Guesthouse ist ein sehr nettes und aufmerksam geführtes B&B. Ich reiste alleine, hatte aber ein geräumiges Zimmer (Nr. 6) mit Doppelbett, getrennter gemütlicher Sitzecke, grossem Bad und kleiner Aussenterasse. Alles sehr gepflegt und sauber. Im Zimmer gab es einen kleinen Safe. Das freie WLAN funktionierte gut, allerdings hatte ich im hinteren Teil des Zimmers keine Abdeckung. Das Frühstück war sehr gut, mit frischem Obstsalat und Eiern nach Wunsch frisch zubereitet. Bei der Ankunft wurde mir direkt empfohlen, abends einen Tisch im Restaurant zu reservieren, und das wurde für mich erledigt. Das Auto konnte ich auf dem abgeschlossenen Gelände parken, und ich bekam für abends sogar ein kleines Handy mit, auf dem die Telefonnummer des Guesthouse einprogrammiert ist, damit ich anrufen könnte. Alles super nett und sehr kundenorientiert und aufmerksam. Das nächste Mal würde ich unbedingt wieder dort buchen.

tolles Frühstück, gute Lage, nette Gastgeber

Das Cornerstone Guesthouse liegt fußläufig zu praktisch allen Sehenswürdigkeiten und Restaurants in Swakopmund. Die Zimmer liegen in jeweils eigenen kleinen Häusern in einem schönen Garten. Unser Zimmer war hell, geräumig, sauber, ausgestattet mit Fernseher, Kühlschrank, Heizung, WLAN-Empfang. Das Frühstück besteht aus einem reichhaltigen Büfett und frisch - und perfekt - zubereiteten Eierspeisen. Die Gastgeber waren ausgesprochen nett und freundlich. Es blieben keine Wünsche offen. Jederzeit gerne wieder.
