Helmeringhausen Hotel

It was established during the German colonial era as a farm by a member (Mr Hubert Hester) of the Schutztruppe/German Colonial Infantry. Later it became famous for its Karakul sheep breeding and currently cattle and goats are farmed here. The Hotel forms part of the historic 11,000 ha Farm Helmeringhausen and is an ideal stop-over on the drive between Lüderitz and the Namib-Naukluft Park, Sossusvlei or Fish River Canyon.

Today the Hotel & Guestfarm belongs to the Basler family who are not related to the Hester Family, German hospitality is guaranteed and English and Afrikaans is spoken.

Your Hosts Björn and his wife Katja Basler are both born in Germany, Björn immigrated with his parents to Namibia in the early 70ties and Katja came to Namibia as a young Women in the beginning of the 90ties and stayed here ever since. Katja was awarded the best Hotelier award in 2011.
