Midgard Country Estate
is an ideal family hide-away, a first or last stop for international
visitors, the perfect venue for intimate meetings, team-building events
or weddings. Acquired in 1937, Carl Werner List originally farmed the
12.000 hectare estate, developing this private and intimate world into a
household name in Namibia. Midgard Country Estate was born.
Today
we invite our guests to enjoy the tranquillity, while marveling at the
pioneering German Settler spirit which gave birth to it all. “Midgard”, a
word found in Old Norse, Middle English and High German languages, has
varying meanings, but is popularly thought to mean “A paradise where the
earth rises again, fertile and green, creating a protected world and a
safe empire for the people”. 
It’s an intimate world. One which offers 46 newly decorated and fully equipped rooms,
Carl’s Dining Room & Bar, the African Boma, two swimming pools, the
Pool Bar & BBQ Terrace, gym and sauna, and a private skittle alley
(Kegelbahn). These are all spaciously situated in a sprawling country
garden, bordering the banks of the Swakop River, as it meanders through
the estate on its way to the Atlantic Ocean.
One
of the estate’s major attractions is a sundowner drive to Hilltop,
where guests can enjoy a stunning 360° view over the Otjihavero
Mountains and watch the sun set with sundowners in hand. They can also
experience what life was like on a traditional Namibian Farming and Game
Estate in years gone by, with a morning or afternoon nature-game drive
through the separate 2.000 hectare nature reserve, along the Swakop
River.
