Great apartment in a perfect location. I was on my own, but this would have also been ideal for a family. There is a sauna and hot tub below. Well equipped kitchen. The lady at the reception was friendly and wonderfully helpful. She helped me to get my motorcycle into the garage. I hadn't heard of Henties Bay in the past, it turned out to be a brilliant seaside town for relaxing and walking. There's a good supermarket and restaurants. I had fish and chips at Fishy Corner, and a toasted sandwich and milkshake at the little garden centre. Exploring the interesting town was easy.

Manager was friendly and offered recommendations for activities. The bed was old and the room offered no privacy. Curtains had to be closed at all times to keep children from looking in. Area was somewhat smelly due to dogs. Left one day early.

Schönes großes Haus, Einrichtung schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Für kurzen Aufenthalt okay (max 2 Nächte), länger nicht zu empfehlen. San. Einrichtungen u. Kühlschrank nicht Sauber, div. Mängel, z.B. an Steckdose über dem Herd od Dunstabzugshaube. Fenster schwer bis gar nicht zu öffnen. Zurückgelassene Kleidungsstücke von Vormieter in den Schränken. Aussicht von der Terrasse hingegen ein Traum!

Henties Bay with a wonderful sea view

We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It is well located with a great view of the sea. The property was well appointed but out of date and in need of a bit of a refurb.

Located right on the beach front with great sea views and gardens. Has a pool/spa and sauna but did not use these facilities. Rooms spacious but lack air conditioning. Don’t forget to spray your rooms as we many mosquito bites having left the windows open at night. Arrived very early for check in as we wanted to watch the World Cup Rogby final. We’re shown to our room by a workman. Reception was advertised to be open from 3pm but remained closed all day Saturday and Sunday. Therefore given no orientation to property. No tea/coffee/milk provided. Close to local shops and restaurants

Nothing to rave about

Unfortunately reception closes at 4 so we were not able to use any of the amenities in the complex. The apartment was basic, had some incredibly dangerous stairs, and all the windows were open so the place was freezing.

Le foto non rendono giustizia a questo posto. Siamo stati solo una notte ma l' appartamento era davvero bello e spazioso con vista mare. Inoltre questa struttura è dotata anche di una sauna e un bellissimo vasca idromassaggi. La cittadina è molto carina e si trova a pochi km da swakopmund. Davvero consigliato. Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo.

Прекрасный отель с изумительным расположением на небольшом обрыве на берегу океана. Номера великолепны-все новое и все очень продумано и со вкусом. Прекрасная джакузи с сауной. Очень приветливый и общительный хозяин. В нескольких минутах езды хорошие и доступные по ценам рестораны.
