“A once in a lifetime experience”
The property is in an amazing location, with fantastic views of the surrounding landscape. The staff were lovely, Jeremiah, Daniel and co looked after us really well. The pool area is an absolute gem for whiling away the heat of the middle of the day. The surrounding hikes gave us a chance to immerse ourselves in the landscape and the view of the night sky was spectacular.

A family of zebras lives at the accommodation and it is wonderful to watch them. The staff are very friendly and helped us a lot to choose the best route to Walvis Bay. Thank you very much for that. A sundowner drive with Johann is definitely a must. Nice hiking trails.

“Lodge with an unique atmosphere”
We stayed for two nights during our tour of Namibia. We loved our stay! The entire lodge exudes a unique atmosphere. This starts with the approximately 7 km long driveway and the unparalleled surroundings. We enjoyed the swimming pool with its view and the sunset at the restaurant's outdoor area. We also really appreciated the warm welcome and the size of the room (suite) including the terrace. We would highly recommend this accommodation for a stay of 2 to 3 days.
