About the host
Hosted by Louisa Kirton
John-Lou's Self-catering Accommodation is run by Louisa since December, 2018. I love sharing my cozy thatch-roofed studio with travelers from all over the world and from all walks of life. I am a keen gardener and also love painting and hiding small surprises in the garden for the guests to discover. I want you to leave with a happy heart and a smile on your face, looking forward to your next stay at my establishment. I live on the property and am always happy to help if you need anything — whether it’s tips on where to eat, places to explore, or just a friendly chat about Windhoek life. You’ll have your privacy, but please feel free to reach out anytime — I’m just a message away and glad to assist whenever needed.
