Kashana, on the banks of the ephemeral Omaruru River, is built in and around one of the town’s historic buildings. The main building was originally constructed in 1907 as a casino for local mineworkers.
It is thought that the house probably gained its name from the surrounding bush savannah which resembled a wide open plain or ‘Kashana’ in the Owambo language.
The years took their toll on the building and after pains-taking restoration it has been returned to its former glory. It re-opened in 2007 and reflects its German history.
Today, the building is the centrepiece of a lodge-style guesthouse with an attractive bar and a popular all-day à la carte restaurant, which is frequented by Kashana’s guests, passing travellers as well the local townspeople. The courtyard is surrounded by massive old trees which give the garden terrace restaurant charm and ambience
