“A good spot to overnight on your travels.”
We were on our way home after a month travelling around Namibia, and so this location suited us well. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. The shower was good. Both the breakfast and the dinner were good, with food well prepared and a good variety. The aircon worked well, so that was a bonus

“Excellent food in the on site restaurant.”
Ideal location for an overnight stay. The food in the restaurant was excellent, the best of our three week trip. The room was comfortable but rather dark.
