Location and Access

Ouhave Country Home lies on a working farm around 78 miles south of Otjiwarongo and close to Osire, making it a stop more suited to travellers moving along the north-south B1 route between Windhoek and the Etosha region rather than a base for day trips into Etosha itself. Self-drive visitors should plan for gravel farm-access roads in the final stretch, as is typical for country accommodation in this part of Namibia, and confirm turn-off directions with the farm in advance.

Best Suited For

This farm stay suits travellers who enjoy rural Namibia and a slower pace, including guests interested in farm life, Nguni cattle and indigenous small stock, or those simply looking for a quiet overnight stop while covering long distances. The self-catering cottage suits couples or small groups who prefer privacy and their own cooking facilities, while the main rooms suit travellers who would rather not self-cater. Visitors wanting to be closer to Etosha’s gates or to Waterberg Plateau Park itself may prefer a property nearer those specific destinations.

Practical Considerations

Home-cooked meals can be arranged on request and for a surcharge, so guests who want meals provided should ask in advance rather than assuming a restaurant is on site. Free Wi-Fi is available at reception, and free private parking is provided. As with any farm-based accommodation, it is worth confirming current rates, meal arrangements and availability directly with the hosts before travelling.

Nearby Alternatives

Travellers wanting other stops along this stretch between Windhoek and Etosha can compare Otjiwa Safari Lodge and Okonjima Plains Camp, both covered on this site and both within reach of Otjiwarongo. The Otjiwarongo accommodation guide lists further options for planning a wider route. Guests interested in visiting Waterberg Plateau Park, roughly 62 miles north of the farm, can find practical details directly from Namibia Wildlife Resorts, which manages the park.
