“Perfect stay !”
We stayed at the new location 11km further up from the main farm house. Perfect and nice bungalow next to the common lounge & kitchen house and a great pool, overlooking the vast lands. Just incredibly surprised by the excellent dinner and bf cooked for us and served outside... The staff was so nice, well informed about everything on the farm and kind. The place is a sunset and sunrise place. It could not have been nicer and better. I recommend to book these bungalows, it is with the additional 11km.... You will be surprised.

We had booked the luxury chalet for the last two nights and that was definitely the best accommodation out of all the many very good ones we've had. The landscape, the view from the terrace, the chalets with panorama windows, and last but not least, the service from Gertrud are truly something special. If we could give extra stars for the wow effect, we would.

“Paradise a short drive from Windhoek”
Fantastic location approx 30-40km outside of Windhoek. Fantastic service from all the staff, especially Joelle & Leo at the equestrian centre. Responsibly priced and delicious meals & drinks too.

“Simple accommodation, ideal for walks in nature.”
The location is away from the main road, allowing for a truly peaceful night's sleep. The menu and breakfast were very good and plentiful. The accommodations exude a family atmosphere.
