“Nice location for staying in Windoek”

We where a family with two kids arriving from an overnight flight without luggage. The staff has been very friendly and took great care of our "problem". The place is nicely built with a beautiful relaxing garden. Rooms where ok and bathroom just ok. Breakfast was basic. It is located close to a bigger shopping mall what has been very... More

Terra Africa is my home away from home. I have been going to Windhoek on business for over 4 years now and in the beginning stayed at different guest houses, but only found the guest house for me in Terra Africa. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the owners really make you part of their family, yet keep it... More

Guesthouse Terra Africa is my first and only choice when in Windhoek. If they cannot accommodate me I will rearrange my business trip to ensure that I can stay at the guesthouse. I have been staying at the guesthouse for the last three years and recommend this guesthouse to anyone looking for a home away from home. This is where... More

How I wish that we had spoken with Rolf, and how I wish that I could write a better review. Our stay at Terra Africa had me literally in tears. We were booked in by our tour company for our first night in Windhoek on our 10 day tour of Namibia. So, we had no choice, but were happy to... More

“Very average.....”

Reviewed 29 November 2011

Despite the somewhat glowing TripAdvisor reviews, this property is not worthy of such good comments. My husband and I stayed there 2 weeks ago and the overall appearance of the hotel was tatty and shabby. We were given a very small room with the tiniest of bathrooms (complete with sliding door which was stuck open). Despite hotel management's half hearted... More

“OK guesthouse for a stopover”

Reviewed 20 October 2011

My partner have stayed one night at the Terra Africa Guesthouse in Windhoek on our trip to Etosha National Park. The guesthouse is totally OK to stay for one night when on a stop over from or to another destination. To be frank we expexted a little bit more according to the other reviews we have read about the guesthouse... More

Thank you very much for your feedback. We will definately look into why navigation to the garden rooms are a bit more difficult. It's always nice to get a guest's persepctive on things, because owner's do not actually sleep in and experience the property each day like a guest would and such platforms for feedback in addition to our own...

We stayed here for during our last night in Namibia and it was a phenomenal end to our journey. The location was awesome right across from the presidential palace in a quiet residential villa neighborhood.

The location is perfect, just outside Windhoek but with all facilities like the shoppingmall nearby. It makes Terra Africa a perfect start for your journey through Namibia. The manager, Rolf, makes you feel really welcome and is a great help when it comes to lost luggage (and believe me, that happens more often then you want in Namibia...). More
