Once again, trying something new ...

- the next room upgrade will look something like this!
Only one room thus far has got this new rounded wooden ceiling with built-in down-lights in a recess along the edges. Wood and lamps together make for a very warm atmosphere and well-lit surroundings.
We are currently collecting feedback from customers and hope to get some more good ideas to incorporate for the next phase. Upgrading our other bedrooms will not happen before early 2011 though, as we are now entering the high season.

If you'd like to contribute your thoughts, please contact us!

Dog News...

Another big event of January 2010 was, of course, the arrival of our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, Björn now re-named Beethoven.

Please see the "Sandmännchen" page for updates until as recently as June 2010.

Last summer was the right time...

With last summer's rains appearing at strange times in Namibia and even coastal Swakopmund experiencing exceptionally warm and dry spells, it took our garden plants a while to decorate the gazebo we built last year. In January 2010, the gazebo was finally ready for a first official photo shoot - here it is:




Left: View from the inside out, with the 2 comfy loungers visible at the bottom.
 



 



Right: The gazebo viewed from the entrances of the restaurant and reception - the greenery ensures throughout the year that guests using the gazebo are not disturbed by what is going on in the more busy areas of the Giardino.

 

 


Left: The gazebo at night times - its steps and immediate surroundings are well lit.

This photo also shows the new water feature we introduced some time ago, now positioned near the gazebo's entrance. It attracts a good deal of birdlife that can be easily observed from inside the gazebo.
