Sandcastle Apartments is perfect for what it offers. It is self-catering, clean, safe, and a very good home base for exploring Swakopmund, though I would recommend a vehicle for accessing the main downtown/shopping and restaurant areas. Our host, Claudia, was accommodating and very communicative. There was a chance that our arrival would be delayed due to unseasonal flooding, but Claudia promptly responded to our messages and assured us that we would be able to check in with even very late arrivals. Luckily that didn't end up being necessary but we appreciated not having the stress of possibly missing a check-in time. We found our rooms (Lion Apartment) to be in great condition and very clean. Kitchen supplies seemed basic but all we really needed/used was the refrigerator. Our only recommendation for the property is a way to check out and hand over keys if staff isn't immediately available or can't be found. On our second day another guest knocked on our door early in the morning and told us we needed to take her keys and let her out the gate, as a car was picking her up and she couldn't find any staff to check her out. Obviously the behavior of this guest isn't the responsibility of the property, but having some sort of key box or communicated policy in place for checking out might have avoided the issue. Overall we greatly enjoyed our stay and found the value to be excellent.

We had a nice stay at Sandcastles. Well located in a quiet suburb, Claudia was a lovely and helpful host. The only drawbacks were a lack of amenities (coffee, soap and a fan for the room). Otherwise highly recommended.

L'etablissement est tres propre et sécuritaire. L'accueil est impeccable. Je recommende fortement.

The host is very accommodating for any requests and question concerning the area And give you a quick response concerning activity around town.

Spacious rooms with clear and exceptional consideration for the South Western African location! Host was very pleasant and a wonderful virtual mine of information about everything we needed to know. We will be back!

Very sweet place with a great location and easy accessibility. Lovely owner.

Nice stay. Kind host. Great value.

We liked the location. The friendly reception and information received was very clear. Silke was very friendly and well informed about things to do and see. Will recommend Sandcastle Apartments any time. Regards Chris and Thea

Great value for money, large apartment with comfy beds...has all basics in kitchen for a self catering comfortable stay...

Quiet and relaxing room close to strand and easy walk to stores or places to eat.

Great welcome very informative on the local area. The appartment was lovely and clean , and had everything that you could want.It was about 20 minutes walk down the beach front to main area of Swakopmund. Also nice walk along beach in other direction to shopping mall.

Wonderful stay

As a self-catering option, Sandcastle Apartments is great. The apartment was set up with the required basics, and within walking distance of several supermarkets (assuming you are OK with walking for 30-40 minutes). The activities / tour companies I dealt with all knew where the apartments are located. Silke, the owner, is very helpful and yet unobtrusive and lets you get on with your vacation. Easy access to the beach is a plus.

We were very happy with the accommodation. We appreciated the free Wi Fi. The location was very good and only two blocks from the sea. Security was also good.

My apartment let out onto a communal terrace area but I had my own table, parasol etc. The apartments are big and well equipped.

Good stay, friendly welcome, good well equipped units

For those wanting a self-catering option, this is a great choice of accommodation. The beach is a short walk away, and if you are reasonably energetic the main "centre" of town is a 15-30 minute walk away. All the tour companies I dealt with knew exactly where it was. On arrival, I was given a very warm welcome and a comprehensive orientation to where things are in Swakopmund. Security is taken very seriously. The entire accommodation is well maintained. I had a relaxed time, and would look to book here again if (and hopefully when) I return to Swakopmund.

Great place and huge..very relaxed..staffs are friendly and very helpful with information about the area and also with helping out with activities in the area

Our apartment was much more than expected. Very spacious luxurious for two persons.

Good stay
