A Heritage Oasis

on the Edge of the Kalahari

Welcome to

Stampriet

Historical Guesthouse

A peaceful retreat set within the lush river oasis of southern Namibia.

Surrounded by tall trees, flowing ponds, and the fascinating geology of the Kalahari, the guesthouse offers a warm, character‑filled stay for travellers seeking comfort, history, and heartfelt hospitality.

Whether you’re exploring the Kalahari or stopping over en route to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park

This is a place where timeless charm and rural tranquillity come together.

Although we are located 60 kilometres from Mariental, guests love our historic setting and garden oasis as an overnight option. Continue your journey the next day via Mariental to Keetmanshoop or take the scenic route along the dry Auob Riverbed, passing limestone formations and red Kalahari dunes. Visit the Quiver Tree Forest and Giants Playground before reaching Keetmanshoop.

Why stay with us

  • Unique heritage setting
  • Lush gardens and water features
  • Individually styled rooms
  • Warm, homely hospitality
  • Ideal stopover to Kgalagadi
  • Peaceful rural atmosphere
  • Family‑friendly facilities
  • Art studio for creative sessions (drawing, painting, pottery, and more)

Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön. Es ist super ruhig und wer Tiere mag, fühlt sich hier sicherlich wohl! Der Pool ist leider ein wenig dreckig, dafür aber um gechlort. Das Abendessen ist super lecker und absolut empfehlenswert!!! Die Zimmer sind auch sehr schön. Wir haben hier geschlafen und sind dann etwa 20min in den Gondwana Kalahari Park gefahren um eine Sundowner Safari Tour zu machen, am nächsten Tag haben wir noch eine Wanderung gemacht, auf der wir auch alle möglichen Tiere gesehen haben. Ein Besuch ist es auf jeden Fall wert und unbedingt das Abendessen probieren!
