Kashana is based in a historic building constructed in 1907 as a casino for local mine-workers. It is thought that the house probably gained its name from the surrounding bush savannah which resembled a wide open plain or ‘Kashana’ in the Owambo language.

The years took their toll on the building and after painstaking restoration to its former glory it once again reflects its German colonial heritage and was re-opened in 2007.

Today, the building is the centre-piece of a Lodge-style Guesthouse with a novel and attractive bar and a popular all-day à la carte restaurant, frequented not only by residents, but also by passing travellers and local townspeople, all enjoying the tranquil shade of the garden courtyard.

Besides our standard rooms, we offer luxury air-conditioned thatched chalets on the Bank of Omaruru river offering either a king-size bed or two double beds, offering en-suite shower facilities, mini bar, tea/coffee station, television, internet connection and safe for valuable – all the comforts of home.
