Helmeringhausen Hotel & Guestfarm

The only hotel in the village — and one of the most charming in southern Namibia. Built during the German colonial era as part of an 11,000-hectare Karakul sheep farm, it has been welcoming travellers ever since. 22 en-suite double rooms, swimming pool, beer garden and a legendary restaurant. The apple cake is famous on every self-drive itinerary between Fish River Canyon and Sossusvlei.
