Good Afternoon NicolePeter Thank you for the review. The Villa's are certainly looking good after the refurbishment and offer that little extra seclusion over on Erongo island. As you said the the short buggy ride can mean a little more time towards planning the day. Its a unique location with some unique experiences and challenges but one thing that is... More
