Set just 3.3 km from Warehouse Theatre, Essence of Africa Guesthouse is a cozy retreat in Windhoek that's perfect for both short and long stays. With a friendly bar, a shared lounge for those lazy evenings, and round-the-clock security, you'll feel right at home here. The guesthouse tickles your fancy with a 24-hour front desk and a communal kitchen where you can whip up your favorite meals – plus, free WiFi throughout so you can stay connected!

Each unit is air-conditioned and has a flat-screen TV. You’ll find kettles in all rooms, and some come with fully equipped kitchenettes featuring an oven, microwave, and stovetop, making it super easy to cook up a storm. Don’t worry about bed linen and towels – they’ve got you covered!

If you’re peckish, head over to the snack bar, or request a packed lunch to take with you on your adventures.

Feeling outdoorsy? There’s a picnic area where you can unwind under the sun. Plus, you’re just a hop away from local attractions: Alte Feste Museum and Windhoek railway station only 4.1 km away, and Eros Airport is a mere 5 km from the guesthouse, with a paid airport shuttle for your convenience.
