Sea Breeze Guesthouse

Top choice in Swakopmund


This upmarket guesthouse is right on the beach about 4.5km north of town, and is an excellent option if you’re looking for a secluded retreat. Ask to see a few of the rooms, as several of them have spectacular sea views; there’s also a great family room. There’s plenty of advice available on what to see and do around town. Follow the Strand north and keep an eye out for signs.
