Oyster Box Guesthouse — Hotel in Erongo Region

+++||- Breakfast food was fine. ||- Location is good (close to restaurants and boat cruises starting point).||||---||We booked a partial sea view room, but it really was a closet - way too small for two people.

Not even those cheap ugly round soaps you get at the formula 1 hotel.|TV channel selection based on one decoder based at reception, so if somebody requests channel 203 soccer for example, that's it|Breakfast option was just eggs and bacon, no other option like a sausage or fried tomato||Not sure I would...
