The whole lodge, as well as the garden could do with a cleanup as well a general maintenance. There are better options in Windhoek for the same price.... the receptionist was having a big party at the pool and did not bother to turn volume and activities down. We had just arrived from a long flight from Europe...

better options in Windhoek...

We stayed here for 1 night to begin our self  driving trip through Namibia and enjoyed the personal service. Our room was large and comfortable with tea/coffee making facilities and overlooking the pool/garden area. Breakfast was great with a continental selection along with eggs on offer cooked to your liking offered with bacon etc. we enjoyed our dinner at Joe’s beer house which they happily organised for us. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend.

Lovely hosts

Great cozy place, great breakfast service and basically all the needs you’d expect from a guesthouse. Downside is that room sizes / features are very different; some rooms are a lot bigger and have a lot bigger bathrooms than others for the same price. Loved to stay here, everything was very nearby in the area so a great place to stay in Windhoek if you want to do / see things in the city.

Terra Africa Guesthouse

The Hosts are very nice and welcoming. The Guesthouse itself is a bit outside of the city center next to the Presidental Palace and the Maerua Mall is close as well.
The Guesthouse has a nice garden and clean rooms. But everything is a bit old by now and would need a makeover. Nevertheless we had a very pleasant stay and a good night of sleep and would defenitely stay there again!

Nice beginning and en of our Namibia trip

We had a very nice welcome upon arrival, a table at a restaurant had been booked already which was good as it seems that in Windhoek the main restaurants are very busy. But otherwise, the place needs a face lift. The rooms are very simple, the towels are shimmering all shades of gray and are washed out. The mini fridge was not really clean. the hotel is located in a residential area, near the presidential palace but it is located on a big road and our room was facing that way - so very noisy. The pool area also looks like it needs a makeover and a good clean and is hence not very inviting. The breakfast however is good. As it was our last morning we wanted some tips for what to do, the person at reception seemed annoyed by our questions, when asking if museum are good and which one is the most worth it the answer was "they are all nice" and no further information given. I would not recommend staying here as it was clearly the worst hotel we stayed at during our whole Namibia trip.

Mediocre place

Terra Africa is maybe not as terrible as my rating may indicate, but I'll explain why I gave them this rating.
I stayed there on 2 nights approx a week apart. Place had been booked by the Safari company I did 3 Safari trips with.  
First time I stayed place was good, nice large room with bit of a view and a fridge in the room.  They were good in arranging booking and transport for dinner at Joe's Beerhouse.
Second time room not so great, no fridge and in the evening hardly any hot water.  Then next morning ZERO hot water.  I complained to reception and thier response was something about be happy with life.  NO explanation NO apology.
I mentioned this to the Safari company who had booked the room, who followed up with Terra Africa .  Then the killer, Terra Africa told the Safari Company they had apologised.  I have seen the email. No misundersanding just an outright LIE.  Why these people felt the need to lie and could not offer an explanation or apology when I first complained.  If they can do this , they will do anything, don't trust them. Stay her at your own peril.

Truth is missing

A really nice guest house in the quiet area of Auasblick. Not central to the city so you will need a car or taxi (we used Japie 0816444485. Very reliable !) A very genuine warm welcome from the owner who arranged a taxi and restaurant reservation at Joe's beerhouse in anticipation of our arrival. Nice garden, nice ambience, clean rooms and nice breakfast.
Would definitely recommend Guesthouse Terra Africa!

Great base

The property needs a good overhaul of the bathrooms. We stayed in two of the rooms and the bathrooms were both in need of a total overhaul. The sink wasn't working in one of them, the shower hose was perforated and overall, it looks like there has been no maintenance in years. The beds were saggy and old. Even after a long camping trip, sleeping in a tent would have been preferable. I can't say that it wasn't clean however, being so old and in disrepair it made the entire room seem not  very clean.

Photos are deceiving

We stayed here at the beginning and the end of our camping trip and enjoyed the personal service, lovely rooms with a deck or patio area, delicious breakfasts, and the comfortable pool area with lots of little birds to watch. Mariana helped us with taxi service to restaurants, a clinic, shopping, and airport connections. We were well cared for at Terra Africa.

Mariana is a great hostess

Rooms are poorly maintained and service is average at best. 
Small things make the difference the handle of the bathroom did not work. There are night lights next to the beds but there is no plugs to plug them into or charge your phone. 
There is a complimentary hairdryer in the room but no adapter for it.The air-con does not heat only cool in winter.
The beds are old and form a U when you sleep in them. The bathroom has had very poor tiling work done which has aged terribly. The sliding door of the rooms does not lock and wheels need replacement, the breakfast was average with very limited options.
