10/10 Excellent
"Arebbusch was the perfect place to start our camping adventure in Namibia. I was really glad we chose to stay just outside the centre of Windhoek, it felt relaxed and peaceful, but a taxi into the city was quick, easy and inexpensive. The accommodation and facilities were great, but once again it was the staff who really stood out. Friendly, helpful and welcoming at every turn, they made everything feel easy from the moment we arrived. A brilliant, good-value base in Windhoek and the perfect place to begin and end a Namibian road trip."
