The Namib Desert is said to be the oldest in the world. Buried in its dunes lie sand grains that have been around since before the age of man. The pressure on these grains forces them to lock into each other, forming sand roses, thousands of years old. As the sands shift and the dunes dance their eternal dance, these roses come to the surface and lay bare in the mystical sand garden of adders and all manner of tiny desert dwelling creatures.
Right in the centre of the Namib Desert lies the town of Swakopmund. Its rich mixed history giving rise to a diverse mix of architectural styles; from old German Fachwerkhaus buildings to quaint coffee restaurants and stylish modern complexes, and among these lies Ocean House Guest House. With glimpses of the cold mysterious Atlantic from almost every window, the somniferous fresh salty air and the crashing waves’ siren song lulls you to sleep at night.
The 15 well-equipped rooms somehow manage to be both spacious and cosy at the same time. Scrumptious breakfast finishes of your experience, gifting you the energy to explore, adventure and venture into the unknown!

Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.
Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.
The world is not in your books and maps; it’s out there.
Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.
There’s only one place I want to go, and it’s to all the places I’ve never been to.
It is never too late to be who you might have been.
Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures.
Adventure may hurt you, but monotony will kill you.
I travel because I become uncomfortable being too comfortable.
The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa — for he has so much to look forward to.
