Windhoek Region
Windhoek is the capital and largest city of Namibia – the starting and ending point for many journeys through the country. The city combines colonial architecture with modern influences, feeling both manageable and spacious at the same time. Different worlds meet here, shaping the cityscape just as much as the country’s cultural diversity.

Shops, cafés, and some of the city’s well-known buildings line Independence Avenue. However, many of the good restaurants are located slightly off the central streets and aren’t always obvious at first glance. A short transfer is often worth it. City bus tours are a great way to get an overview of the city. Ti Melen is also happy to help with bookings here.
Windhoek is nestled in mountainous surroundings. The city’s name – “Windhoek,” meaning “windy corner” – refers to its location and local climatic conditions. There are also worthwhile destinations around the city that can easily be integrated into your stay.
Ondili Boutique Guesthouse in Windhoek
Located in the quiet Avis district of Windhoek, Ti Melen is a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Surrounded by a well-kept garden and situated on a hillside, the boutique guesthouse overlooks the district and the landscape all the way to the Auas Mountains. Ti Melen is strategically positioned for reaching the international airport, as its location on the eastern outskirts avoids a drive through the city center.
Upon request, the German-speaking management is happy to organize restaurant reservations for dinner in Windhoek or a spot at the iconic Joe’s Beerhouse, and will arrange a safe transfer to the city and back.
