Rivendell Guest House

Windhoek


This homey set-up gets good reviews from travellers. It’s a very relaxed guesthouse located in a shady suburb within easy walking distance of the city centre. Bright and airy rooms open to a lush garden and a sparkling pool; cheaper rooms have shared bathrooms. It’s a good place to try if everywhere is full as the owner will try and help with alternative accommodation. Rates do not include breakfast.
