Cactus in the desert Townouse
Hands down the best place I’ve stayed in many years. Christine’s place is immaculate, inside and out. The fully stocked kitchen with equipment makes cooking a breeze. Security is excellent too. WiFi speeds are 60mbp which is a breath of fresh air for Windhoek. Would highly recommend staying here, it is fantastic - one of the few stays where I need an extra star to give! Ben

We could not have been more pleased with Kotie’s place. It is the perfect place to stay in Windhoek—a spacious and well provisioned house in a quiet neighborhood. She also provided us with a wonderful dinner recommendation (Joe’s Beerhouse)! We hope to visit again on a return trip to Namibia.

I had a fantastic experience staying at this Airbnb apartment. The space was exactly as described—clean, modern, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

As @ your own Valley
I stayed with Antoinette for nine weeks, and I absolutely enjoyed every moment of it. The apartment is very pretty and well-equipped, even for longer stays. You have everything you need to live comfortably here. I cooked for myself and had dinner at home every evening. The kitchen is also very well set up—everything is clean and fully equipped. It’s not only clean but also tastefully decorated and modern. Selma, the cleaning fairy, came once a week and made everything sparkle again, so I could enjoy the apartment anew each week. The location is excellent—you can walk to the Eros Market, and the city center is also easily accessible. Antoinette is very helpful. I was here during a time when it rained a lot, and she supported me with kind check-ins, cake, and even a large flashlight when the power went out. I’m truly grateful to Antoinette—it was a wonderful time for me here in Windhoek. I can recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Windhoek, whether for a short stay or for longer

The Quirky Scandinavian Apartment
We had a wonderful stay at this place. The flat is well equipped with all basic appliances and amenities, and it was very comfortable as a home base for our visit to Windhoek. We would stay here again.

Cozy loft overlooking Independence Avenue
Great loft right in the city center, next to the Hilton. Very stylish renovation — cozy and comfortable. Thank you! The only thing is that there was no soap in either bathroom and no hand towels. It would also be nice to add a hairdryer.

Erospark view
Lourens’ place is one of the best I have ever booked in Windhoek - it is clean, neat, spacious and in a great location. For the business traveler, this is an ideal place from which you can work - with good wifi and working space. In addition to Lourens and his wife being amazing hosts who proactively make sure your stay is comfortable, the instructions sheet in the unit provides clear guidance. I would definitely book with Laurens again.
