Mount Katrien

Imagine having no one around, but being surrounded by endless horizons. You listen closely, the city noises have gone, and all you can hear is the essence of nature. You finally have time; time to sit and reflect, time to take in the beauty of the bush…time to escape. This is what Mount Katrien is all about.

 

Less than an hours drive from Windhoek, at the very top of Mount Katrien, is a luxury villa showcasing 360 degree views of the Khomas Hochland Mountains that will transport you to a world of serenity, peace and tranquility.  The Villa sleeps between 2 and 10 people (2 double bedrooms + 1 loft area with 6 mattresses). It is perfect for a couples getaway, a family weekend or an intimate party.
