Accommodation Description

The Beach Lodge, in Swakopmund, couldn't be closer to the sea. Its lawn merges with the sand while the crescent-shaped building provides shelter from the invasive Atlantic weather.

This smart guesthouse has a distinct nautical theme with large circular windows and chunky wooden doors. Each suite is named after a shipwreck claimed along the Skeleton Coast before the days of GPS and the Discovery Channel. They are well-appointed with CD players, mini fridges - most have fully equipped kitchenettes - open fireplaces, private patios and bathrooms with a view of the sea.

Breakfast is as hearty as you like and taken in a bright dining room with a view of the sea and a fireplace for misty mornings. In the middle of the crescent is a wad of thick turf of which umbrellas, loungers and a good book make good use.

Beach Lodge is about 5km from the town centre and serves only breakfast, though portable barbecues - called them braais if you want to earn points - are available for you should the urge grab. Several restaurants in the town beg your attention and we are always here to make recommendations and bookings.

Swakopmund is an action-packed holiday resort with a little of everything thrown in. Your time here will always run out before you've seen and done everything you want to.
