Located in the heart of the small artists’ town of Omaruru, about 250 km northwest of Windhoek, Kashana Country House sits directly on the dry Omaruru riverbed and offers an ideal base for journeys between Namibia’s coast, the Erongo Mountains and the country’s northern regions. The historic main building was originally constructed in 1907 during the German colonial era and first served as a casino for mine workers. After years of neglect, the property with its verandas, shaded courtyards and historic details was carefully restored and reopened in 2007.
