The history of this great place as copied from the Casa Blanca website is:
History of Casa Blanca boutique hotel
The original house was built in 1970 by pioneer game ranger Mr Schultz in the style of Fort Namutoni, one of Namibia´s historic monuments located in Etosha National Park. He also lovingly created the indigenous garden, where beautiful old trees today spend welcoming shade.
The house changed hands several times and in 1999 Elke & Peter Young became the proud owners of a decrepit old castle. Peter immediately saw what needed to be done, whilst Elke fell in love with the incredible potential of the property and house. They set out to extensively renovate the building and a year later a new old castle with white walls, Spanishstyle wrought iron, balustrades, arched windows and terracotta tiles opened its gates for guests.
Today Casa Blanca Hotel is well known for its elegant and relaxed atmosphere - complemented by excellent service. Sumptuous breakfasts and patio dinners at sunset.
After running Etambi and Casa Blanca for 15 years, Peter and Elke are handing over the business to their son Frank who will keep up the service, style and excellence. Prior to taking over the hotel, Frank spent 10 years working for Microsoft as an engineer and at Accenture as a business consultant.
I will post my own pictures sometime after I arrive, as for now I have the following pictures from the website that give me an idea of where I will be living.
