Maltahöhe is a village in southern central Namibia close to the Swartrand escarpment, about 110 km west of Mariental in the Hardap Region.

Maltahöhe has two suburbs, the Andreville location and the Blikkiesdorp (literally Afrikaans: Tin Town) informal settlement which has neither sewerage nor electricity supply.

[3] After the end of the German colonial era in South West Africa the settlement became a small hub for tourism, serving as gateway to popular destinations like the Sossusvlei, Solitaire, Sesriem, and Duwisib Castle.

The town used to be a centre for karakul sheep farming, but this branch of agriculture has likewise been shrinking.

[6] The 2020 local authority election was won by the newly formed Landless People's Movement (LPM) which scored well all over Hardap.
