Located beyond the MediClinic at Eros, on the corner of Eros Way and Robyn St (but with the main entrance on Eros Way), Haus Sonneneck is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of Windhoek's best pensions. Not only does each spacious room have AC, minibar/hot drinks, wall safe, satellite TV and phone, but it also has its own private garden with table and chairs.

Beyond this individual sanctuary is the pool, overhung by trees and surrounded by the gardens which are the hallmark of the place. Birds, too, appreciate the welcome; there's plenty of scope for birdwatchers here.

Overseen by owners Gisela and Rudolf, all is calm and peace, yet the centre of Windhoek is just a few minutes' drive away, and there's secure parking.
