Eight-room guesthouse on the main road through Karibib with a pool and breakfast, a practical overnight stop on the B2 between Windhoek and the coast.

Auld Casa is a small guesthouse on Main Road in Karibib, the Erongo Region town on the B2 roughly halfway between Windhoek and Swakopmund. The guesthouse puts Windhoek 184 km away and Swakopmund 169 km. It makes sense for anyone splitting the drive to the coast, or with business at the Navachab gold mine, about 10 km from town.

What to expect

There are eight en-suite rooms, named after Namibian animals. The website shows seven of them: Steenbok, Gemsbok, Springbok, Giraffe, Zebra, Kudu and Blesbok. Set-ups run from two single beds to the Kudu room, which has four singles, two of them as bunks, for a family or a group of backpackers. The Giraffe room stands on its own in front of the pool. Breakfast is served, there is WiFi in the rooms, and the guesthouse also hosts small events.

Practical details

Good to know

Karibib sits on the Khan River and is known for its marble quarries. About a thousand trucks a day pass through on the B2, so ask for a room away from the road if you sleep lightly. The guesthouse website does not look well kept, so confirm your booking by phone or WhatsApp.
