Okahandja Country Hotel

Okahandja Country Hotel sits about 2 km north of Okahandja, on the road that heads up to Otjiwarongo, Etosha and the north, and close to where the B2 splits off for Swakopmund and Walvis Bay. The hotel puts the drive from Windhoek’s international airport at roughly an hour and a half. Most people stop here because of where it is: you land, collect the hire car, and get the first stretch north done before dark.

What to expect

There are 22 en-suite twin rooms and two family units. Rooms have air conditioning and heating, satellite TV, a small fridge and tea and coffee things. Outside there’s a pool and a beer garden shaded by camel thorns, and the hotel makes a point of the birds in the garden. The restaurant is à la carte.

It also does a steady trade in conferences (two rooms, for 80 and 60 people) and weddings, so you may find a function on when you arrive.

Good to know

The woodcarvers’ market in town is one of Okahandja’s main sights and is a short drive from the hotel. The hotel also points guests to Closwa, the Okahandja biltong maker, if you want padkos for the road north.
