Hammerstein is situated between Swakopmund and Lüderitz, nestled between the Nubib and Tsaris mountains. As a stopover for travellers to the south of Namibia, it is in close proximity to the beautiful Sossusvlei region and only 60km from Sesriem.
A few kilometers from the Lodge, rocky outcrops of massive granite boulders conjure up visions of a giant’s playground. It is from one of these boulders – an enormous rock shaped like a hammer – that “Hammerstein”, the German name of the farm, was derived.
Hammerstein started with Swakara (Karakul) farming and in 1992 the lodge was built. There are 29 guestrooms featuring refrigerators and microwaves, set in a garden with a swimming as well as a splash pool.
There is a buffet restaurant offering Namibian cuisine, and there is also an outside lapa and bar area.
