The Namib Desert is said to be the oldest in the world. Buried in its dunes lie sand grains that have been around since before the age of man. The pressure on these grains forces them to lock into each other, forming sand roses, thousands of years old. As the sands shift and the dunes dance their eternal dance, these roses come to the surface and lay bare in the mystical sand garden of adders and all manner of tiny desert dwelling creatures.
Right in the centre of the Namib Desert lies the town of Swakopmund. Its rich mixed history giving rise to a diverse mix of architectural styles; from old German Fachwerkhaus buildings to quaint coffee restaurants and stylish modern complexes, and among these lies Ocean House Guest House. With glimpses of the cold mysterious Atlantic from almost every window, the somniferous fresh salty air and the crashing waves’ siren song lulls you to sleep at night.
The 15 well-equipped rooms somehow manage to be both spacious and cosy at the same time. Scrumptious breakfast finishes of your experience, gifting you the energy to explore, adventure and venture into the unknown!

It is never too late to be who you might have been.
There’s only one place I want to go, and it’s to all the places I’ve never been to.
Jobs fill your pockets, but adventures fill your soul.
There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.
The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.
Then I realized that to be more alive, I had to be less afraid. So I did it. I lost my fear and gained my whole life.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And venture belongs to the adventurous.
The gladdest moment in human life is a departure into unknown lands.
Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.
I travel because I’d rather look back at my life, saying ‘I can’t believe I did that’ instead of ‘if only I had’.
