Enjoy a sundowner on the sundeck or in the cozy lounge in front of the fireplace or a drink in the Historic Bar. The friendly staff of Bahnhof Hotel is awaiting you - the surprise will be yours for certain. The reason precipitating the takeover of the hotel by the present owners is the Namib Huib Plateau Park, situated 30 kilometers south of Aus and of which they are stakeholders as well. This future park, which is in the process of being established, extends over 173 000 hectares and borders the Sperrgebiet for 90 kilometers. Obviously such a venture necessitates the provision for accommodation facilities and therefore the hotel presented an ideal possibility for a first stepping-stone for the development of the envisaged park. The Bahnhof Hotel was initially built in 1906 and had been in the hands of the Lubowski family since the late thirties. A fire destructed the hotel in 1948 and a brick construction replaced the wooden structure of earlier times. With different leaseholders the hotel experienced varying heydays, until in 2005 a group of five partners took over the business. The building was given a complete makeover and 13 stylish rooms with modern en suite amenities were the results of these efforts. Accommodation: The old 13 rooms of the dispose en suite facilities, the old wooden floors have been retained and restored, complimenting the elegant flair of the subtle yet simply decor. A wheelchair-friendly room as well as a family room (sleeping 4) add up to a bed capacity of 28 at the old hotel structure. The comfortable dining hall, the cozy lounge with its traditional fire place, the restored bar and a sheltered beer garden elicit from many unsuspecting visitors an appreciative exclamation of surprise. By the end of July 2010 another reshaping milestone has been achieved. On the adjacent erf eight additional rooms were erected, augmenting the overnight capacities to 21 rooms and 44beds. The existing old building was refurbished to house an additional dining hall with kitchenette, which can double up as a conference venue for approximately 30 persons. Other features include wireless ADSL connectivity and a branch of a well known upmarket souvenir shop.
