Alternative Space B & B

We had an awesome stay at the Alternative Space. Friendly owners and excellent breakfast. Cosy little place on the edge of Swakopmund. Very close to the sand dunes. Very nice and affordable for couples and families.

Alternative Space was easily one of the best accommodations we stayed in while in Namibia. We felt very secure while at the guesthouse and although small, the space has been well used. The outside space includes a private parking area, a communal area with a BBQ and a secluded secret garden space. Internally are the rooms, a lounge with a log fire, kitchen you can use, dining area and library. The rooms are clean and have a lovely layout. I enjoy my food and mostly disappointed with the pitiful breakfasts at various guesthouses, not at Alternative Space, it was delicious and plentiful! Owners are very hospitable and helpful when wanting to know places to visit on your journey across Namibia. Both the owners have interesting stories as to how they came to be in Swakopmund, if you have the time ask them about it and their experiences in Namibia. Although do not allow Frenas to tell you about his conspiracy theories! It is very easy to get to the centre of town and took us about 15-20 minutes. The town is centred around the pier with a number of activities at the seafront. The main commercial section has a number of cafes, shops, bars and restaurants. We felt safe wonder around the busier parts of the town.
