Established in 2002, Free Air Guest House has built a reputation with visitors from far and wide as the place to visit for an unforgettable vacation. Our guests come from all over the world to enjoy their holidays at Free Air Guest House on Walvis Bay's Lagoon.
Accommodation
Located on Walvis Bay's beautiful Lagoon, Free Air Guest House offers classic comfort for holiday tourists, business people, families, and water sports enthusiasts. Free Air’s 10 en-suite double bedrooms and one 4-bed family room feature breathtaking views across the Walvis Bay Lagoon.
Rooms are equipped with very comfortable beds, international DSTV, a safe, and coffee/tea facilities, as well as a shared fridge.
From 07:30 until 10:00, you can enjoy a hearty breakfast, and breakfast packs can be arranged for those who wish to depart earlier.
Our bar, providing sunset views across the lagoon, is open every day until 21:00 for guests to enjoy a drink or simply relax after a fun day.
Our in-house specialties include barbecues, seasonal crayfish dinners, and stone oven pizzas upon prior request for a minimum of 8 people.
There are many restaurants and pubs nearby, some within walking distance, and with the charming town of Swakopmund only 30km away, you will never get bored. If you don't feel like driving, we can arrange transport for you to get to the airport or visit Swakopmund.
We can also assist you in arranging leisure activities on the lagoon or in the desert and surrounding areas.
Our friendly staff will gladly assist you by providing advice and making reservations, and will endeavour to make your stay with us a most memorable one.
After a day of entertainment, which you probably started by enjoying Free Air’s hearty breakfast, you can unwind on our open deck, watch the African sun set over the vast Atlantic Ocean, or have a customary “sundowner” in our sheltered lounge and bar, where you might just meet someone interesting from the other side of the world, whether from Sweden, Chile, Japan, or Costa Rica.
Dinner is served at one of three restaurants within walking distance of Free Air Guest House. If you want to venture further afield, the restaurants in town are only a five-minute drive away.
Whatever your needs may be, our friendly staff will assist you and will do their best to ensure that you have a fabulous time at Free Air Guest House!
The Lagoon
The Lagoon is a Ramsar site and indeed the most important coastal wetland in Southern Africa. It is home to a large number of resident species and serves as a waystation for African and Palaearctic migrant birds.
It is also famous for its thousands of Lesser and Greater Flamingos and has been listed by Ramsar as a natural heritage site.
The Southern African Birding Society says: “Although there are many rare and special species, it's the sheer number and diversity, especially of visiting migrants, that is a major attraction.”
Walvis Bay offers a range of activities to enjoy, even if you are not an avid bird watcher or if you simply want to relax.
The city is fast becoming Namibia’s adventure capital while striving conscientiously to sustainably manage its biodiversity and care for our sensitive environment.
Thus, you can enjoy an action-packed Walvis Bay holiday on the water, such as kayaking, wind and kite surfing, sailing, dolphin and seal watching, or fishing; or on land, including quad biking, 4x4 trips into the Namib Desert, sandboarding, shore angling, or taking a leisurely stroll on a paved walkway around our famous lagoon.
Enjoy truly clean air, as crisp and pristine as it comes. If souvenir shopping is on your agenda, there are two indigenous craft markets just footsteps from our front door.
