Welcome to the enchanting self-catering apartments in Luderitz! Discover the rich history and timeless charm of Krabbenhöft & Lampe, a magnificent building that has stood proudly for over a century and is now designated as one of Namibia's National Heritage Monuments. Situated atop the main street, our apartments offer breathtaking views of the historic town and are conveniently located just a stone's throw away from supermarkets, tourist information, restaurants, curio shops, and iconic landmarks. Originally a trade house and residence for Namibia's first registered PTY, this remarkable building has been transformed into a haven of accommodation, embracing its historic roots while offering modern comforts.
As you step into our extraordinary setting, you will be transported back in time, surrounded by the ambiance of an antique house. Every corner of our meticulously restored building holds captivating stories of the past, revealed through wooden floors, high ceilings, and antique wooden window and door frames. It's important to note that our apartments are located on the upper levels, accessible only by charming wooden stairs. While we continuously renovate different areas of the premises, we embrace the imperfections that come with age, which add to the unique character of our accommodations. If you appreciate the timeless allure of old wooden floors and architectural wonders, you will feel right at home here.
Choose from three spacious apartments that cater to your needs. The "Lampe Apartment" comfortably accommodates 4-6 guests, the "Oberdeck Apartment" can host 8-12 guests, and the "Frieda Apartment" is perfect for 1-4 guests. Each apartment is fully equipped with everything you need for self-catering, including kitchen facilities, bathrooms, and a cozy lounge area with DSTV (Hotel Bouquet). However, if you prefer a break from cooking, the Diaz Coffee Shop, the Oyster & Wine bar, and Restaurant are conveniently located next door, serving delectable meals from 8 am until 10 pm daily. In addition to our prime location, we are within close proximity to tourist information, banks, supermarkets, and curio shops.
At Krabbenhöft & Lampe, we pride ourselves on providing an experience that stands out from luxurious modern guesthouses. Our accommodations are quaint, homely, and brimming with antique charm. It's important to manage your expectations, as our establishment may not offer all the same luxuries as other contemporary accommodations. Please note that Luderitz is known for its strong winds, which may result in some dust and sand making its way into the apartments. The age of our roof and building structure also brings a touch of homey nostalgia, accompanied by the creaks and whispers of the past.
While we may not have a permanent reception desk or porters to assist with your bags, our dedicated team, led by Virginia, will ensure your stay is a comfortable one. Every effort is made to maintain cleanliness and ensure your needs are met. Please keep in mind that Virginia and her team also manage another establishment nearby, which means they may not always be on-site but are always reachable by phone.
We kindly inform you that our establishment cannot accept liability for any losses incurred due to criminal incidents. By booking with us, you acknowledge and accept all liability while indemnifying our establishment from any potential losses. Your safety and security are important to us, and we encourage you to take necessary precautions during your stay.

★★★★★ We were a big group in Oberdeck, Lampe and Frieda. Were dissapointed in Oberdeck apartment when compared to Lampe and Frieda. Oberdeck could do with some attention.

★★★★★ Hardcopy information at the accommodation was last updated in 2004. English history on Luderitz removed from the files, most probably by guests.
