Savouring Luderitz – Luderitz Nest Hotel

We recently had the privilege of staying at the Lüderitz Nest Hotel, a charming 4-star haven perched along the stunning coastline of Lüderitz, Namibia. Its prime location offers breathtaking ocean views right from your balcony, giving you the full sights and sounds of the sea. Having recently undergone a major renovation, the hotel beautifully combines modern comforts with a touch of timeless elegance, making it the perfect base from which to explore the beauty of Lüderitz. Within its walls, we discovered not one, but two exceptional dining experiences: the Penguin Restaurant and the Crayfish Bar & Lounge, both of which left a lasting impression.

Hooves & Gardens

"Here, have some more!” Another batch of yellow baby tomatoes is generously stuffed into my hand, as we step between rambling rows of trellised tomatoes teeming inside a greenhouse. I am back at Hooves and Gardens, nearly a year after my own wedding reception was held on this spacious family farmhouse-style property. In between reminiscing about my wedding day, I am treated to a personal tour of the grounds and the most recent developments. Trailing behind Christiane Reé-Ahlenstorf, co-founder of Hooves and Gardens, I happily munch away. Sweet tomatoes burst with flavour inside my mouth. It is a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning.
