Towards the west, and immediately behind the station, rise irregular masses of low, broken rocks, ending abruptly on one side in a bluff, about one thousand feet high ... To the east, it faces the Swakop, the course of which is conspicuously marked by the handsome black-stemmed mimosa. Beyond this, the view is limited by a noble range of picturesque mountains, rising between six and seven thousand feet above the level of the sea.

Hot mineral spring:
The focal point of the resort is the thermal spring which supplies water to the indoor thermal hall and the outdoor swimming pool. The fountain or "eye" which feeds the two pools has been walled in and is covered with a metal dome symbolising the bubbling spring which flows at about 6 700 litres per hour. The concentration of fluoride and sulphate is lower than the water at Ai-Ais and, with a temperature of about 65 degrees centigrade, the water is about 5 degrees warmer. Other minerals include sodium phosphate, sodium, chloride, silicate and potashium.

The clusters of lamps in the thermal hall are also symbolic of the bubbling spring. A novel feature of the indoor thermal hall, which is enclosed on one side with glass, is a sunken bath with an artificial waterfall where bathers can soothe their muscles. The water in the thermal hall is cooled to about 40 degrees centigrade.
The water temperature of the open-air swimming pool which is influenced by the air temperature, is usually between 25 and 29 degrees Celcius during daytime. The water in the children's splash pool is lukewarm.
