Although it's located somewhat out of the city center, the space is probably one of the best B&B's in Swakop. Why? Because of the friendly owners. Because of the beautifully decorated and spacious rooms. Because of the coyness, and also because it 's not the average B&B (you'll see when you get there). The space provides secure parking for your... More

In September when we arrived in Swakopmund from Spitzkoppe (along the Skeleton coast) there wasnt sunshine, town seemed empty and I can say it was really cold place. However - we had one night reserve in Alternative space and we spend only one day in Swakop. Swakopmund is good place for travelers, and you can try many activities there even... More

We had a great stay at alternative space B&B. The B&B is very atypical in terms of architecture. There are many small places in the building including a living room to have a drink. We had a great big room very original. The owners are very friendly and gave us very good advices. Breakfast is very good. The B&B is... More

We completely forgot to sign the visitors' book when leaving - perhaps because during our time there we didn't really feel like visitors? What we would have put in the visitors' book to Frenus & Sybille : This is just a short note to thank you again for the warmth and excellence of our stay at alternative space. In many... More

We only stayed one night and wanted to stay longer but sadly they were fully booked. A great place. We loved it as did our 8 year old daughter. Slipper bath in our room, electric blankets on the beds (great in Winter). It just felt so comfortable. The fire was lit in the lounge, we put music on the stereo,... More

We only had a one night stay, we had the cool family room in the back; time there was too short! They are awesome hosts, very caring and welcoming! Very nice, help yourself breakfast. We enjoyed the great architecture and art very much!

We spent 3 nights in the family room at back and slept very well. Had lovely easy breakfast in the morning which was great for our kids. 30 minute walk to sea and town. Frenus arranged sandboarding for our girls and yes, he does have a opinion on everything.

You wouldn't expect such a charming lodge in this area of Swakopmund. We stayed with 3 couples and each in different equipped rooms, very nice. There are some pictures of the hostess and some art of the children. It's quite housy.
