A home away from home

The guesthouse is positioned perfectly to allow visitors a chance to visit sites around and near the town.

The guesthouse is situated a little under a kilometre from Moordkoppie and a 17-minute walk from Spar Supermarket in Okahandja. The Okahandja Medical Centre is located 1.1 kilometres from the guesthouse, while the Von Bach Dam Nature Reserve is seven kilometres away.

Andreas Nuule, the CEO of the guesthouse, has a wide range of knowledge and experience in operating businesses. Some of these include retail, hospitality, and farming, which makes him a jack of all trades. He believes in the expansion of one’s abilities, especially in business.

The community comes first

He intends to expand the Town View guesthouse brand and to have branches not only in Okahandja and Swakopmund but in various areas of the country. Through this, he believes the hospitality business can add value to the community as a whole by offering a much-needed service and simultaneously creating employment.

Nuule stated that "it is important to inspire the Namibian youth that have entrepreneurial aspirations and fight the high unemployment rate in our country."

He emphasised that he believes that excellent management and good relationships with the business community will ensure successful business operations and profitable growth.

Town View Guesthouse prioritises communicating skilfully with customers, to ensure that even departing guests still feel part of the family.

Town View interacts with potential customers through various platforms such as social media, print media (flyers), and creates an opportunity for rapport through these platforms.

Nuule’s started working in business as early as 2000. Embodying the true essence of a well-rounded leader, he says that life can be fun with a sense of humour and a flexible approach. He puts great emphasis on integrity, saying it is important. He is also a go-getter, showing that life in business requires action – he is a man of action and likes to get things done.

Vision

With the mission to become the best accommodation establishment, not only in Okahandja, but throughout the country, Town View Guesthouse prioritises good quality service and overall customer satisfaction.

The guesthouse employs nine employees. "Our goal is to render excellent services to our customers and improve the livelihoods of Namibians," said Nuule.

Town View aims to create a "home away from home" for customers.
