Set in Swakopmund, 400 metres from The Mole Beach, Sea View Bliss Guesthouse with self Catering offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The hostel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service.

I loved the breakfast. Loved the room and it’s view and the fact that it’s near the beach and one can feel the sea breeze. Also, it’s near the shops and didn’t spend on transport at all.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Location was excellent, one street to cross to get to the beach. Near enough to town and not far from the north beaches and other attractions. The three bedrooms with the fourth being an adjoining bunk bedroom, were excellent. Clean, and the showers were good. The bookshelf was stunning with a few interesting books to read. The swings outside were a go to👌🏽

    The hostel features both private and dormitory-style rooms, all of which are clean, spacious, and well-appointed. The common areas are also well-maintained, with a comfortable lounge area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a rooftop terrace with stunning views of the ocean. The staff at Sea View Backpackers are friendly and helpful, and are always happy to provide tips and recommendations for exploring the area. They can also assist with booking activities such as sandboarding, horseback riding, and kayaking.
