Cactus in the desert Townouse
Hands down the best place I’ve stayed in many years. Christine’s place is immaculate, inside and out. The fully stocked kitchen with equipment makes cooking a breeze. Security is excellent too. WiFi speeds are 60mbp which is a breath of fresh air for Windhoek. Would highly recommend staying here, it is fantastic - one of the few stays where I need an extra star to give! Ben
