This unique guesthouse is located in the quiet suburb of Kramersdorf, just a few minutes’ drive from the town centre and the Atlantic coast. Nestled in a lush garden filled with palm, banana and olive trees, guests are welcomed into an inspiring atmosphere that blends art and individuality. Originally established during the colonial era as Namibia’s first and only alternative art gallery in Swakopmund, the house critically explored themes of apartheid and colonialism. This creative and open-minded spirit continues to shape the property to this day.
