The terminal infrastructure is basic and functional, providing a comfortable indoor waiting area, public restroom facilities, and a central information desk for traveler assistance. While the building lacks modern commercial amenities like full-service restaurants or retail shops, its small scale ensures a quick and efficient experience for arriving and departing passengers. Travelers are encouraged to coordinate their dining needs in the town of Otjiwarongo prior to arrival. The airfield features a single 5,906-foot (1,800m) gravel runway (09/27) situated at an elevation of 4,840 feet above sea level. Ground transportation to the town center, located approximately 2.4 miles (3.8 km) away, is informal and typically managed via pre-arranged private transfers or local taxis.
