Welcome to our charming thatch-roofed studio flat — a trendy, character-filled 40 m² open-plan space that blends rustic African warmth with a touch of the exotic. The studio’s unique décor features a beautiful Chinese screen, South-West inspired painted cattle skulls, and natural textures that create a one-of-a-kind atmosphere full of personality.
The open layout includes a comfortable sleeping area, cozy lounge corner, and a well-equipped kitchenette for preparing light meals. A separate WC adds to your privacy and comfort.
Step outside into a lush garden paradise, where you can relax under the trees, read a book, or enjoy an evening barbecue in the braai area tucked away at the bottom of the garden — a perfect spot to unwind after a day exploring the city.
You’ll have a wonderful view of the Heinitzburg Hotel right from the studio. It’s just a short 500 m stroll around the corner, where you can enjoy a sundowner on the terrace while watching Namibia’s breathtaking sunsets.
