Location in Uis was very convenient on our long drive from Walvis Bay to Etosha. Very nice view of the Brandenberg, with easy access to Himba tribe village. Informative landlady. Clean, quiet. Basic (cold/packed snacks) breakfast, coffee.

The place is wonderful, very quite in the countryside of Uis. The room is very clean, cosy and there is everything you need. You feel like at home and Penny and Diana are so nice. It's also a good chance to visit a Himba village. Really recommended.
