“Fantastic. We’ll definitely return again soon!”
Both breakfast and dinner were amazing (Monica, thank you for the gem squash recipe!). The room was super comfortable, and the night sky over Etusis was some of the best star viewing I’ve ever experienced.

“Relaxing”
The family environment really makes you feel at home. The family is so nice that eats with you and share many stories. I never felt so relaxed and in peace. Must stop. Very clean, delicious food and beautiful horse back riding

We had a wonderful time at Etusis lodge - big thanks to Monica and Johan for taking such good care of us. The family style dinner, waterfall walk and going horse back riding were our highlights!

“A beautiful, tranquil and most welcoming stay”
Unlike in some of the larger more corporate run lodges we had a much more intimate experience at Etusis. We were greeted by the host (and their pet meerkat 🙂) and subsequently dined with our hosts and other guests around a single table (eating lovely home cooked food introduced to us by the lodge chef). After dinner we sat outside enjoying the tranquility while watching the bats and a nightjar catch insects in the glow of the waterhole floodlight. Our accommodation was comfortable and private, set within the mature gardens looking out towards nearby hills which we walked within. Our only regret was having booked for one night only.

“A secluded lodge in a beautiful setting with excellent food, a great pool, and horse riding.”
The lodge sits in a beautiful valley, completely secluded and private. The rooms were private and well apointed. The food was excellent and served outside which was wonderful. The pool was lovely and the crazy golf super hard! We took a sundowner and saw springbok and zebra. The second day we rode horses up to the waterfall (dry at that time of year) which was a morning to remember. This hotel was one of the highlights of our holiday in Namibia. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

“Mountain get-away”
Far off the beaten track, nestled amongst marble mountains situated in most beautifully landscaped garden you stay in cozy bungalows that lack for nothing. Attentitive managers (Monika & Johan) were there to assist with knowledge, conversation & tips. The food was tasty & they went the extra mile for dietary restrictions.

“Felt good to be there. I'd like to return and spend longer.”
Breakfast was good. The cactii in the gardens were very tastefully arranged. Off the beaten track a bit...but better for it. Being able to horse ride in the evening and early morning was a real plus. Nice swimming pool with plenty of shade and fresh towels.

“Relax and unwind from the world”
- The farm & lodging is well kept and nice to walk around - We went horse riding for sundowners! Loved it! - The family atmosphere during dinner as everyone sits at a long table - They were able to accommodate a vegan diet You really feel removed from everywhere else in the world! My husband & I loved our 2day stay and met wonderful interesting people while we were day.

Amazing place, Johan and Monica are great hosts, they warmly welcomed us and the place feels straight away like "coming home". The cabins are spacious and can sleep up to four. They are located in a beautiful garden around the pool. Private and quiet. Excellent food. Wonderful trails around the lodge for 1 up to 2 hours hikes and the waterhole is breathtaking

“Close to paradise.”
A great location, far from the madding crowds. Lovely bungalow with aircon. The grounds were well kept, as was everything. The property were able to provide a vegetarian meal at short notice which was delicious. Breakfast was very good. The 2 volunteers who were working with the horses were delightful. There are a couple of walks to do and horse riding if you want it.
