Welcome to our Out-of-Africa One-Bedroom Apartment, a warm and stylish retreat designed for comfort, convenience, and a touch of African charm. Whether you're visiting Windhoek for business or leisure, this cozy apartment offers the perfect base, private, quiet, and well-located. The apartment features a beautifully furnished bedroom, a comfortable living area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a separate three-quarter bathroom. The apartment also features a small enclosed garden, a peaceful spot to unwind with your morning coffee or enjoy some fresh air in privacy. Guests also have access to a lapa with barbecue facilities, perfect for relaxing evenings or enjoying an authentic Namibian braai. Situated just 1.6 km from the nearest shopping centre, you’ll have quick access to groceries, essentials, and everyday conveniences. A variety of restaurants are also located within a 1–4 km radius, giving you plenty of dining choices—from casual bites to more refined meals. Out-of-Africa Apartment offers comfort, convenience, and charm, perfectly suited for travellers who appreciate both style and practicality.
John-Lou's Self-catering Accommodation is run by Louisa since December, 2018. I love sharing my Out-of-Africa One-bedroom Apartment with travelers from all over the world and from all walks of life. I am a keen gardener and also love painting and hiding small surprises in the garden for the guests to discover. I want you to leave with a happy heart and a smile on your face, looking forward to your next stay at my establishment. I live on the property and am always happy to help if you need anything — whether it’s tips on where to eat, places to explore, or just a friendly chat about Windhoek life. You’ll have your privacy, but please feel free to reach out anytime — I’m just a message away and glad to assist whenever needed. I speak English and Afrikaans and some German.
