Why we recommend it
The Weinberg is a boutique hotel at the heart of the Am Weinberg Estate in Klein Windhoek, now part of the Gondwana Collection. Its architecture wraps around a heritage building at the centre of the estate, and the name, German for vineyard, recalls the vines that once grew on the slope. The estate has since become a small lifestyle complex, with restaurants, a day spa and shops around the hotel, so there is plenty within a few steps of your room. The hotel offers an extensive wine list in keeping with its name.
Rooms are arranged around a courtyard. Most are courtyard rooms on either the fountain level or the upper level, a couple with a bath, and there are superior rooms, loft rooms and family lofts sleeping two adults and two children under 12. At the top end, two Terrace Suites have two bedrooms, a study, a dining table suitable for meetings and a balcony. The mix makes it a sensible choice for families and for business travellers as well as couples.
The Sky Lounge is the hotel's social centre, serving light meals, wine and drinks with views across Windhoek and the surrounding valley. It is a popular place for sundowners, and The Namibian has singled out its cocktails and sharing plates. The hotel has a bar, garden and breakfast area, Wi-Fi throughout, a 24-hour front desk and security, laundry and an ATM. For pampering, the Life Day Spa is on the estate, and there are four meeting rooms for 16 to 120 people.
Check-in is from 14:00, with early check-in subject to availability, and check-out is at 10:00, with late check-out on request. Transfers to and from Hosea Kutako International Airport and Eros Airport, and around the city, can be arranged. The hotel also lists shuttle services to destinations such as Sesriem, Etosha and Swakopmund that depart from a fuel station in Windhoek, which is useful if you are not hiring a car.
Klein Windhoek is a quieter, leafy suburb a short drive from the city centre, with good restaurants and cafés nearby, including Olivia's Kitchen on the same estate. The Weinberg suits travellers who want a stylish, mid-sized base with character outside the busiest streets.
