This place is a beautiful oasis. The pictures reflect the beauty of the place, however there are many things that need to be upgraded. We chose the place for the pool for our son. It is the desert and we did not expect the pool to be filled with sand and really not swimmable-it was a disappointment. Our cottage had a problem with the water- the shower wouldn't turn off- this was our last night. We had to get maintenance to help. Thank God-we took our showers earlier that evening as t was our last night and we could no longer use the shower. They did offer another room as a solution. Given t was our last night we did not want to have to move everything, so we stayed in the room. There were also many ants..we eventually got baby powder (nice trick) from the front desk to put around the room to keep the ants away. Apparently, they come in trying to get water. Who Knew? The staff was responsive ALWAYS - yet like I said the place needs to updated. There was NO wifi in the room and that was painful to get anything done we had to hang in the lobby for the internet. I understood that even the cottages that were suppose to have service did not. Again another area for upgrade. What worked? The people are AMAZING the staff are professional, kind and responsive. The atmosphere is relaxing and the area really beautiful. Springboks, bougainvillea's and the golf-course are an added plus to the site. Easy to get to town and an oasis when you come back from the many adventures.

LOVELY LOCATION NEEDS A BREATH OF FRESH IDEAS

Having stayed here 10 years ago, I can honestly say I was disappointed. The Lodge belongs to the same owner as the adjacent Rossmund Golf Club which has been up for sale by auction a few times during the past year. The lawn around the pool was uncut and the pool itself did not look clean enough to consider a swim in the scorching heat. Breakfast in the confined dining room was sub-standard and the staff looked disinterested. Over all the place was tired , which is a pity, given its lovely location virtually on the golf course.WE were referred to the golf club for an evening meal , only to be told on our arrival at 18h00 that the kitchen was already closed! I left with a sad feeling as my routes were deeply entrenched in that golf club of which I have fond memories. A new owner could turn both the lodge and the Golf Club around.

Information about the area

Swakopmund, Namibia

Located in Swakopmund, Rossmund Lodge is connected to the convention center, within a 10-minute drive of OMEG Haus and German Evangelical Lutheran Church. This family-friendly hotel is 5.2 mi (8.4 km) from Old German School and 5.3 mi (8.5 km) from The Dome.

Palm-lined streets, seaside promenades, fine accommodation, a pleasant summer climate and decent beaches. Welcome to Swakopmund - Namibia's premier holiday resort! During the summer holidays and long weekends, thousands of Namibians flock to the coast, and this human migration happens for a number of reasons; Swakopmund has a real holiday feel to it and everyone wants to be there; during the December holidays, the cool Namibian coast offers relief from the intense heat of the interior; and more importantly as far as the tourist is concerned in these modern times, Swakop has changed, and has become the countries leading adrenaline destination, with a wide range of activities to suit all ages and (most) egos. The area of Namib Desert around Swakopmund is named the West Coast Recreational Area. And recreation is the towns number one draw card. There are countless pursuits to help you spend your time, and money. For those interested in adventure activities Swakopmund offers sandboarding, quad biking, dune carting, parachuting, hot air ballooning, shark fishing, deep sea fishing and beach angling to name but a few. For the more sedentary there are restaurants, cafes, art galleries, the Swakopmund Museum, a snake park and aquarium. If danger isn't your middle name, then the architecture and general feeling of Swakopmund might be more to your liking. This town has the ambiance associated with a small German village, and the town seems to be stuck in time. (Less for those who care to jump out of perfectly serviceable aircraft shouting 'Geronimo' before it lands safely.) Although in recent times the new generation have woken up to the tourist potential of the area, Swakopmund still manages to create a feeling of timelessness. Buildings and monuments of note in Swakopmund include the Hohenzollern Building, the Marine memorial, the War memorial in memory of those killed in World War 2, Princess Rupprecht House originally a military hospital now a private guest house.The Kaserne buildings originally served as a barracks and is of a similar design to the Alte Feste in Windhoek and Fort Namutoni in Etosha. The old Swakopmund Prison is still fully operational and provides budget accommodation for the criminal fraternity of the Namibian coast. The Swakopmund Railway station was completed in 1901 and now houses the Swakopmund Hotel, while the bells of the Deutsche Evangelical Church were imported from Germany. Standing close to the State House (Kaiserliches Bezirksgericht) is the Swakop Lighthouse at just over 20 meters it has been functional since 1902. The main beach area is called the Mole, and is the result of a largely unsuccessful attempt to construct the artificial harbour (as South Africa owned the only natural harbour in the area at Walvis Bay). The towns most iconic symbol is the Swakopmund jetty, initially used as mooring for ships it later became a popular are for anglers and walkers, it has fallen into disrepair on numerous occasions and has been subject to several attempts to rescue it from complete dereliction. Recently large scale work has been completed on the jetty which now proudly boasts a small restaurant and bar area. True to its German traditions early mornings and evenings in Swakopmund can be cold throughout the year, as the cold Atlantic Ocean meeting the Namib Desert creates a fog bank. This coolness is often a relief from the heat of the rest of Namibia, but does mean that Swakopmund is not the tropical sunbathing mecca that most people imagine. There is a great variety of accommodation in Swakopmund which cater for all tastes and budgets. It should be noted that these establishments will definitely need to be booked in advance especially if you are travelling in the busy December holidays. For day trippers a visit to the Cape Cross Seal Colony is worth a visit as it offers a taste of the Skeleton Coast and the seals are worth a visit. The Welwitschia drive is an interesting way to spend a few hours and introduces you to some of the fauna and flora of the Namib Desert. Bird lovers can pay a visit to the Swakopmund Salt Works or the Walvis Bay Lagoon, which in season is frequented by thousands of flamingos.
