Meike's Guesthouse
Owner run guesthouse on the edge of central Swakopmund, open since 2001, with twin rooms, family units, a self catering flat and a breakfast buffet with home made jams.
Meike and Klaus Würriehausen moved from Germany to Namibia, rented a farm near the Naukluft mountains, and opened this guesthouse in Swakopmund in 2001. They still run it themselves. It sits at the edge of the town centre in a quiet residential street, about a 2 km walk from the beach.
What to expect
The guesthouse has 22 beds. There are five twin rooms (the beds can be pushed together if you ask before you arrive), two family units with two twin bedrooms sharing a bathroom, and a two bedroom self catering apartment with its own kitchen, living room and entrance. Every room has its own outside seating, plus a kettle, fridge, safe, hairdryer and hot water bottles, which you will want on a foggy Swakop night.
Breakfast is a big part of the appeal, a continental buffet from 7.15am to 9am with bakery rolls and home made jams. You will also notice guineafowl everywhere. It is the logo, and there are now so many ornaments of them that the owners have lost count.

Good to know
