A wonderful stay at de Bakern. Was there for 7 nights. Thank you for a lovely service. The rooms was so lovely and clean. Beautiful decorated and all worked fine. Location is superb so close to Lagoon and my favourite restaurant the Anchor. An easy walk to downtown or a short drive to the 7dunes for some quad biking or visit the Dunes Mall. A well recomemded place to stay, de Baken.

My stay at Dr Baken was fantastic. It’s within walking distance to the lagoon, perfect for runs or strolls, and close to excellent spots like The Anchor restaurant, a cozy coffee shop, and the catamaran tours. The views of the sunrise and sunset over the lagoon were stunning. The guest house was spotless, well-maintained, and each unit offered privacy. With a fully equipped kitchen and a great braai area, it’s perfect for short visits or longer stays. There is secure parking inside the property and the staff are very friendly. I’ll definitely return when I’m in Walvis Bay again.
