Galton House is one of Windhoek's newer establishments. Named after the famous explorer Sir Francis Galton, it has a relaxed but efficient style and beautiful wildlife photography adorns the walls whilst the rest of the interior is a combination of modern minimalistic and understated chic. Just ten minute drive from the centre of the city and perched on the edge of Windhoek's northernmost suburb of Eros. There is Wi-Fi throughout the property and the nine guest rooms all have wired internet connectivity and satellite television and a choice of standard rooms and the slightly larger pool suites. There is a coffee/tea station available in the reception area and these can also be provided in the rooms on request. The communal areas consist of a large lounge, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a swimming pool, an early arrival/late departure day room (including toilet, shower, changing and re-packing facility) as well as understated garden areas. There is also a delightful 'al fresco' dining area by the pool where freshly prepared and very tasty meals are served (including lunch and dinner). A number of shops, restaurants and supermarkets are within easy striking distance.
