With just six rooms, you’ll be lucky to get a booking at Villa Violet - one of the top rated B&B guesthouses in Windhoek, Namibia’s capital.
Villa Violet is a smart and attractive guesthouse tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of northern Windhoek and is a great place to start or end your safari or self-drive holiday in Namibia. You will easily find Villa Violet coming from the airport; it is close to the central areas of Windhoek.
The rooms at Villa Violet open onto small patios making an ideal spot to relax and read a book or have a cup of tea while you chat with Ben and Heidi. Rinse your travel-weary bones in the swimming pool or retreat to your air conditioned room with a book from the small library.
The décor as simple, elegant and modern with hotel-like amenities including wireless internet, climate control, tea/coffee, personal safe, honesty bar and hair dryers.
If you are looking for a warm welcome, genuine hospitality, convenience and comfort, we cannot recommend Villa Violet highly enough: we have yet to have an unhappy customer and, so long as Ben and Heidi are at the helm, we doubt we ever will.
