We stayed here for 1 night to begin our self  driving trip through Namibia and enjoyed the personal service. Our room was large and comfortable with tea/coffee making facilities and overlooking the pool/garden area. Breakfast was great with a continental selection along with eggs on offer cooked to your liking offered with bacon etc. we enjoyed our dinner at Joe’s beer house which they happily organised for us. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend.

Lovely hosts

We stayed here at the beginning and the end of our camping trip and enjoyed the personal service, lovely rooms with a deck or patio area, delicious breakfasts, and the comfortable pool area with lots of little birds to watch. Mariana helped us with taxi service to restaurants, a clinic, shopping, and airport connections. We were well cared for at Terra Africa.

Mariana is a great hostess

The Hosts are very nice and welcoming. The Guesthouse itself is a bit outside of the city center next to the Presidental Palace and the Maerua Mall is close as well.
The Guesthouse has a nice garden and clean rooms. But everything is a bit old by now and would need a makeover. Nevertheless we had a very pleasant stay and a good night of sleep and would defenitely stay there again!

Nice beginning and en of our Namibia trip

A really nice guest house in the quiet area of Auasblick. Not central to the city so you will need a car or taxi (we used Japie 0816444485. Very reliable !) A very genuine warm welcome from the owner who arranged a taxi and restaurant reservation at Joe's beerhouse in anticipation of our arrival. Nice garden, nice ambience, clean rooms and nice breakfast.
Would definitely recommend Guesthouse Terra Africa!

Great base

A quirky guesthouse that was a great find by our agent.  We stayed at Terra Africa for one night at each end of our stay in Namibia.
We were welcomed by who we think is the owner and given a choice of rooms.  Rooms are large, ensuite with some overlooking the garden/pool or the car parking.  The rooms are clean, towels are provided along with coffee and tea making facilities. 
Breakfast was great with a continental selection as well as eggs on offer.
The garden is a delight with a small pool, several parrots and leopard tortoises, but be aware of the mosquitoes at dawn and dusk.
My choice would be to go for the garden/pool rooms as you may be interrupted by guest arriving late at night.

  

A great stay in Windhoek

The whole lodge, as well as the garden could do with a cleanup as well a general maintenance. There are better options in Windhoek for the same price.... the receptionist was having a big party at the pool and did not bother to turn volume and activities down. We had just arrived from a long flight from Europe...

better options in Windhoek...

Great cozy place, great breakfast service and basically all the needs you’d expect from a guesthouse. Downside is that room sizes / features are very different; some rooms are a lot bigger and have a lot bigger bathrooms than others for the same price. Loved to stay here, everything was very nearby in the area so a great place to stay in Windhoek if you want to do / see things in the city.

Terra Africa Guesthouse

We had a very nice welcome upon arrival, a table at a restaurant had been booked already which was good as it seems that in Windhoek the main restaurants are very busy. But otherwise, the place needs a face lift. The rooms are very simple, the towels are shimmering all shades of gray and are washed out. The mini fridge was not really clean. the hotel is located in a residential area, near the presidential palace but it is located on a big road and our room was facing that way - so very noisy. The pool area also looks like it needs a makeover and a good clean and is hence not very inviting. The breakfast however is good. As it was our last morning we wanted some tips for what to do, the person at reception seemed annoyed by our questions, when asking if museum are good and which one is the most worth it the answer was "they are all nice" and no further information given. I would not recommend staying here as it was clearly the worst hotel we stayed at during our whole Namibia trip.

Mediocre place

This is a lovely guesthouse in a residential area overlooking the city of Windhoek. My room opens onto a small deck that overlooks the garden with many corners for reading and a small pool. Sadly the pond in the website photos is a mess — no water and dead plants in heaps. Perhaps because it's winter?
My room has an ensuite with poor lighting over the washbasin and a shower door that leaks. The bed is fairly hard but comfy. My bedside lamps were not plugged in and I couldn't reach the plug. There is no luggage rack or drawers so my case was on the floor. Is a hanging wardrobe.
There is nowhere close to have dinner here, and the website inferred that guests could order dinner in the guesthouse. That was not correct. As a solo female it was too far to walk to get a meal on two of the three evenings I stayed here. And being alone, the prospect of wandering around in the centre of town in the dark after a taxi ride to find a resto was unappealing. At lunchtime, I was able to order a toasted ham and cheese sandwich from the staff. Namibian beer and water are available from the area where breakfast is served. The food is average. No sign of the wine tasting offered on the website that I was anticipating with interest.
Laundry can be done for guests on site and, after nine days on the road, I was relieved!
This is a great place to relax, but not to eat. Staff are helpful and kind. 
If you are a couple or have transport, I would recommend it for a short stay.

Delightful but not convenient

The property needs a good overhaul of the bathrooms. We stayed in two of the rooms and the bathrooms were both in need of a total overhaul. The sink wasn't working in one of them, the shower hose was perforated and overall, it looks like there has been no maintenance in years. The beds were saggy and old. Even after a long camping trip, sleeping in a tent would have been preferable. I can't say that it wasn't clean however, being so old and in disrepair it made the entire room seem not  very clean.
