Swakopmund Property - Namibia
Swakopmund is a charming seaside village at the foot of desert
dunes that sweep down to Namibia's coast near the port of Walvis
Bay.
Property and real estate investors can select from a range of different
property types including large houses, smaller homes and apartments.
Swakopmund is renowned for its stunning architecture and beautiful
buildings.
In an area where the beach and the desert have become one, visitors
to Swakopmund can refresh and relax in one of Swakopmund's charming
hotels, or indulge in German fare and delicacies in one of the many
fine cafes and restaurants. With an architectural style brought
to Namibia by German settlers over a century ago, Swakopmund is
a fascinating town between the Namib Desert and the Kaokoveld and
Skeleton Coast region to the north. The port of Walvis Bay was a
South African enclave before being handed back to Namibia in 1994,
and is not only famous for its fishing, but also for the vast flocks
of flamingo which inhabit the surrounding pans.
Swakopmund is - at least in comparison to the inland - quite chilly.
Due to the cold Benguela current, the water is usually too cold
for swimming. Until midday, the town is often covered in dense sea
fog.
Swakopmund is a popular holiday place, especially during the Christmas
holidays, when the Namibians find it too hot in Windhoek. It then
becomes quite crowded. Early booking of accommodation is recommended.
Some years ago, the former train station of Swakopmund - one of
the many colonial buildings of the town - was transformed into an
elegant casino and entertainment complex, including a 5-star luxury
hotel. The formerly so sleepy place on the rough Namibian Atlantic
coast has evolved into an upmarket seaside resort.
Seeff Swakopmund can assist you with all types of residential property
and real estate for sale and rental including houses, apartments,
cluster developments, security complexes, land and guesthouses.
