I have stayed here a couple times now in the past year. Its a great little b&b - 7 rooms. The breakfast is very nice and in a beautiful room that feels very homey. The service is very friendly. The front desk person is always very helpful about restaurant bookings or trip/activity advice. They provide you with a mobile phone... More

What a great little place! Close to the city center and the beach, yet tucked away to allow you a pleasant and peaceful rest, with guarded parking and a small verandah in front of every room so you can chill out, incredibly friendly service-they're never too tired or too annoyed to explain things, we even got a mobile phone while...

2 British guys in mid twenties visiting for a night at the start of Feb. We hadn't planned a hotel or guest house but we stumbled across this gem whilst driving around one evening. Great location next to the centre of town and very close to the beach too. The lady who runs it was amazingly helpful, the rooms were... More

Peter along with Bettina and Robbyn could not have been more helpful and their advice was well worth taking regarding trips and sights. We could not recommend The Cornerstone highly enough. If there is anyone going to Swakopmund this is the place to stay. Well done Peter and all. Gerry & Summie Kenny More

Overlooking the beach, walking distance to town and with every facility you could possibly need. Beautifully furnished with clear lines an absolute joy to relax and recharge... More

If traveling from the UK think of the Cornerstone more as a boutique hotel that does nor serve dinner and you will not be far wrong. Excellent staff that provide a great concierge service that would put most five star hotels to shame. Nothing is to much trouble! The detail in every aspect is thoughtful and almost perfect. Would have... More

Cornerstone is in a perfect location and very comfortable! The room details were lovely, lavender embroidery on the pillows and other decorations. We had a very pleasant 2-night stay here. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, especially when I needed ice for a foot injury and couldn't find any. A staff member went out of her way, and brought... More

Watch out if you are thinking of booking one of the sea-facing apartments. We experienced a hideous smell which the owner said was produced by the questionable use of 'treated' water on the grass in front of the apartment. He offered refund if we went elsewhere, but the town being heavily booked and us being weary after a long day's... More

Firstly, it is regrettable that the guests have had a bad experience .Swakopmund being a desert town and enviromentaly sensitive, has a water recycling process. This water is used on all the Municipal gardens all over the town, of which some are in front of An der Mole. From time to time the water can be smelt by a sensitive... More
