Brigadoon Boutique Guesthouse

Brigadoon Boutique Guesthouse

Brigadoon is located on a quiet street in the heart of Swakopmund. From here, it is just a few steps to the beach and the historic old town.

Brigadoon, now a boutique guesthouse, was formerly a captain’s house built in 1906. The small estate is unmistakably shaped by its maritime character. The proximity to the sea, the coastal light, and the special atmosphere of Swakopmund are reflected in its design.

Swakopmund Region

Swakopmund is located at the mouth of the Swakop River, which gives the city its name. It is mostly dry and carries water underground. During the rainy season, the water also flows above ground into the Atlantic.

The city is shaped by its history as a colonial town. Some buildings from this era have survived to this day and, in the overall picture of a lively African coastal city, appear like an unusual, almost foreign setting.

Located directly on the Atlantic coast, this is where the desert meets the sea. The cold Benguela Current off the coast ensures an extraordinary abundance of marine life, while on land the seemingly hostile Namib spreads out – yet reveals an amazing variety of life upon closer inspection.

The surrounding area is also diverse: long beaches and boat trips along the coast. At the same time, the dunes around Swakopmund offer space for active experiences – from quad biking to sandboarding on the steep slopes of the Namib.

Activities on your own

The following overview shows interesting activities in the Swakopmund area. These activities must be booked by the guest directly with the respective operator and are not conducted by Ondili.

Of course, there is much more to discover. For further recommendations or help with booking, please feel free to contact the management.

Sandwich Harbour 4x4 Drive

In the Namib Sand Sea, wind and time sculpt an endless ocean of dunes that abruptly meets the Atlantic. Sand sea meets ocean. The route leads over dune crests, past salt pans and lagoons, to the coastal stretch of Sandwich Harbour.
Duration: Half-day or full-day
Price: approx. N$ 3,095

Info & Booking

Living Desert Safari

Life hides in the sand of Namib-Naukluft Park: tiny tracks on dune crests, a lightning-fast gecko, a chameleon in camouflage mode. This fragile world shows how perfectly even the smallest species have adapted to extreme conditions.
Duration: 4–5 hours
Price: approx. N$ 1,000

Info & Booking

Quad & Sandboarding

Action in the dunes: first on a quad bike over steep ascents and descents, through soft sand and tight turns, then sandboarding down the slopes – perfect for adrenaline junkies. The coastal dunes provide the ideal backdrop.
Duration: 2–3 hours
Price: approx. N$ 890

Info & Booking

Bike Tours and Rental

Whether along the Atlantic coast, through Swakopmund's streets, or over the dunes – experience the surroundings actively and environmentally friendly on a fatbike. Guided tours and bike rentals are available directly in Swakopmund, just about 600 meters from the guesthouse.
Duration: From 2 hours
Price: approx. N$ 140

Info & Booking

Combined Tour

Two highlights in one day: Experience Pelican Point and its seal colony from a kayak in the morning, then a 4x4 drive through the dunes to Sandwich Harbour in the afternoon – including catering amidst nature. This way, two of the region's most famous sights can be experienced in just one day.
Duration: Full-day
Price: approx. N$ 4,400

Info & Booking

Marine Big 5 Cruise

Duration: approx. 3.5 hours
Price: approx. N$ 1,450

Ecology

Ecology

Ondili places the highest value on ensuring that the operation of Ondili Lodges results in nature conservation. This commitment is the foundation and driving force of the Ondili Group.

 

  • Since its inception, Ondili has invested its entire annual profit into nature conservation.
  • For every guest room in an Ondili lodge, Ondili has created at least 1,000 ha (10 km²) of new nature reserve in Namibia and maintains these reserves.
  • At Ondili, electricity and hot water are predominantly generated by our own solar power systems.
  • The local population benefits from the creation of jobs in the lodges' nature reserves and in the craft sectors.
  • Firewood for the evening campfires is sourced from bush clearing measures necessary for the regeneration of natural areas in Ondili's northern nature reserves.
  • Involvement of local farmers in nature conservation concepts

Tour with the Ondili Signature Route

Namibia can be explored with Ondili on well-coordinated routes that combine overnight stays in various lodges. The suggested trips serve as guidance and showcase the diversity of the country's landscapes and regions.

Whether Kalahari, Namib Desert, Damaraland, or Etosha, the lodges are each located in close proximity to characteristic natural and cultural areas, allowing for targeted exploration of the country's diverse landscapes.

What Our Guests Say

Very tastefully furnished large rooms, beautiful terrace. The only thing was that the bed was too hard for me personally. The breakfast was very good. Our son received a birthday surprise with a small cake, muffins, chocolates, and the whole staff sang. The owners are very nice. You can easily walk to the harbor from here. There are plenty of restaurants here.

Petra L.

Very well-kept, beautifully furnished guesthouse, everything spotlessly clean. The staff was very friendly. Ideally located in the center and yet very quiet. Thank you for the lovely stay.

Bernd Nebel

An incredible welcome and a great hotel! The staff is really nice and caring. Top breakfast. Comfortable room and very, very clean. Fridge in the room. Private covered outdoor area. Ideal location, just a few minutes’ walk from restaurants.

Camille Rischard

Brigadoon Guesthouse is a great place to stay for anyone in Swakopmund. The location is excellent – just 5 minutes from the city center. The rooms are very modern and lovingly furnished. Actually, they are even more than just a room, as they are small bungalows overlooking the garden. All have a small terrace in the garden, which invites you to relax. The staff is extremely friendly and the kitchen team is simply fantastic. Breakfast is freshly prepared every morning and served in top quality. And more importantly: it just tastes delicious. Absolutely recommended. Numerous parking options right in front of the door.

Gianmarco Cicuzza

We spent two nights here and had an excellent stay. The staff is very attentive. The rooms are spotless and comfortable. Most shopping centers are in the immediate vicinity. We can recommend this hotel to everyone.
