Directions:
Hotel Pension Rapmund is situated at 6 Bismark Street, Swakopmund

Top location, right on the beach. This is a very popular accommodation choice - and rightly so.
Close to the main beach and Swakopmund aquarium, also boasts a heated swimming pool
Absolutely unique! Built on stilts into the Swakop River - many units offer great views. Feels more like a traditional country lodge rather than an establishment in a busy tourist town.
