TO Sweet Thorn Retreat !
Acacia Karoo
The name Sweet Thorn derives its name from the large, populous Acacia Karoo that lines the Seeis River, which in turn cuts through the property providing our water source and plentiful shade to our campsites.
Easily accessible
Our proximity to both Windhoek and Husea Kutako International Airport coupled with the 'relaxed country feeling' makes Sweet Thorn Retreat an ideal gateway entering into and departing from Namibia.
