Evening Shade

Chris, the owner, has put so much attention to the details that make a stay at Evening Shade so comfortable. The beds are perfect, the linens of high quality and the decor is a pleasure. Don’t be put off by the outside, it’s the inside that counts and it charms you.
His hospitality is second to none, the morning we had breakfast, he made it himself and it was really delicious. He has homemade bread, in many other places we stayed, we received not very nice basic supermarket bread.
He makes an excellent cappuccino — also not a given in Namibia.
You will also love viewing his photographs and asking him about his extensive mineral collection.

We stopped here for a night to break up our journey from Swakopmund to Windhoek. This comfortable and quiet place was just what we needed to relax at the end of our 9-day road trip before heading home. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived around 2:00pm. The room had character and charming decor. The bed was comfortable. The shower was spacious with great water pressure and hot water. A combined air conditioning/heating unit and extra blankets were provided for temp control. The kitchen and dining area were a nice perk also, and if we'd been there longer we would've made use of it. Parking was spacious and easy (parking with a pick-up truck was difficult at some lodges but not here). There was some confusion on our end about breakfast because we'd booked through Hotels. Com and it said it was included, but I suppose it isn't. However, the owner Chris was kind enough to make us breakfast on a whim which we really appreciated. Everything was great and we'd happily recommend this place to others. Thanks for the hospitality!
