Sea View Backpackers is in Swakopmund, Namibia, not in South Africa, and it appears to now trade as Sea View Bliss Guesthouse. It is at 20 Berg Street, Swakopmund, and the numbers in circulation are +264 81 444 1814 and +264 81 319 6319.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not the property and we cannot take, alter or refund a booking.
The name appears to have changed
Checked on 24 August 2026. Booking platforms and the property’s social media page carry both names, with listings filed under the backpackers name but titled as a guesthouse. That pattern usually means a property has been renamed or repositioned, and older listings have not caught up.

| Country | Namibia |
Both numbers are Namibian mobiles, and the email in circulation is on a free webmail account bearing an unrelated business name. None of that is proof of a problem, but combined with a name change it means nothing here is confirmed against a source the property controls. Treat the details as a starting point and confirm before paying.
Booking a property that has changed name
- Check the most recent reviews, not the average. A property that changed hands or repositioned often reads very differently in the last six months.
- Confirm what it now is. A backpackers and a guesthouse are different products, and dormitory beds may no longer be offered.
- Book and pay through a platform rather than by transfer, so a dispute process remains available.
- Be wary of a request to move off platform and pay into an account. That is the most common accommodation scam anywhere.
South African consumer bodies cannot help here
Namibia is a separate country. The Consumer Protection Act does not apply, and neither the National Consumer Commission nor the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud has jurisdiction over a booking made there.
- Pay by card or through a platform, so a chargeback or dispute process stays open to you.
- Rands are widely accepted in Namibia, but Namibian dollars are not accepted in South Africa, so do not bring change home expecting to spend it.
- Take travel insurance covering medical treatment, since a South African medical scheme may not cover care across the border.
- Crossing by road needs the vehicle’s papers, a bank letter for a financed car, cash for border charges, and documents for a child not travelling with both parents.
