Beach Lodge

Beach Lodge is a bed and breakfast at the end of Stint Street in Vogelstrand, about 5 km north of the Swakopmund town centre. The building stands on the sand roughly 20 metres from the tide line, and the architecture borrows from the shapes of ships. If you want to hear the surf from your bed, this is the place in Swakopmund to book.

What to expect

There are sixteen rooms and fifteen of them look at the sea. Rooms are named after ships wrecked on the Skeleton Coast, plus one called Kolmanskop after the old diamond town. Standard rooms on the ground floor open onto a patio, while the first floor ones have a balcony and a big round porthole window. The four Luxury Doubles are for adults only. The Standard Family rooms have a kitchenette, and the Montrose room is a two storey unit with two bathrooms, a kitchenette and a fireplace. Breakfast is included.

The Wreck restaurant is on the second floor of the same building, with an international menu and South African wines. Guests can walk up for dinner, though booking a table is a good idea.

Good to know

You are not in walking distance of the old town, so plan on driving in for museums and shops. In exchange you can walk for kilometres along the sand, north towards the Skeleton Coast or south into town. Mornings are often foggy here because of the cold Benguela current, so pack a warm layer even in summer. The front desk will put you in touch with operators for skydiving, sandboarding, quad biking and surf fishing.
