Desert Breeze Lodge

We stayed just one night here as part of our guided Ultimate Safaris tour of Namibia. Stunning views from the cottages and dining areas. Lodge set in a lovely garden. Cottage very spacious, clean, quiet and comfortable - best shower! Not within walking distance of city centre - though this did not bother us as we were in a guided vehicle. We enjoyed a late afternoon walk on the sand dunes in front of the lodge - an easy walk. The only meal we had here was breakfast (no other meals served here) and it was very good. Service good.

What a great place with an amazing view on the dunes and a wonderful decoration, while being so close to the city. Excellent breakfast too.

Desert Breeze hotel was my highlight of Swakupmund to be honest. The hotel offered a beautiful room at the front row overlooking the sand dunes, consisting of a single space with large windows, living part with sofa and a fireplace, and a balcony attached to it. The bed was comfortable. Toilet and shower were separate and well spaced. Reception staff were friendly and apparently tours can be booked there. I only used their phone to make inquiries with my car rental company. Breakfast was good. Cars can be parked within the premises under large shades. Handy for when summer sets in. What is noteworthy is the exceptional quietness of the place at night.

A fabulous hotel. Excellent views towards the dunes. Specious rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. You can book a number of excursion right at the property (offered by external providers). Laundry service quick and well priced. Good breakfast. A true gem and a great value. We definitely would choose it again.

Desert Breeze was a great place to stay for a night or so, our room had fantastic views over the dunes landscape, the room was clean, well equipped and the staff were very helpful.

Stayed for two nights Wished it was one ! Room overlooked by two others View very much blocked to left and to right Lying in bed could see door of one villa and decking of other No frosted glass / privacy in bathrooms Lavatory seat dirty / ancient lavatory brush Taps unsecured / moved about when used (surely the cleaner must know this ) Reception didn’t know cost of taxi to town ! had to ask the maintenance man who was helpful and said 100 Namib Decor needs updated Building site to rear Generally unfinished rear area I was not impressed and would never go back

Very good hotel with few chalets near the desert. Equipments are good and staff is very friendly. The view from the chalet and breakfast room is beautiful. We have appreciate the quiet of the place not too far from the center. Easy to park big car ( with tent on the roof)

The staff was really nice, they called a driver for us and Terence drove us to and from the city (please note that the lodge is far from the center). Our bungalow had stunning views of the dunes and was comfortable. The pressure and the temperature of the shower were great. The breakfast was nice. The only problem was that we were freezing cold both nights - there was no heating, just a tiny fireplace that we had to deal with. It took us forever to lighten it and the firewood wasn't enough to heat the huge room. It would have been nice to have the fire on upon arrival. In lodges like this one, it is not acceptable to be cold in your room. Also, the lodge is too far away from the center, hence 4 stars. We would have preferred a heated room near the center.
