From a convenience perspective, we missed a shelf in the shower.

The place came highly recommended, and we were not disappointed. The staff were professional and very friendly, the food was excellent, and the chalet was immaculate. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. The views are breathtaking, and the quality of the development was reflected in every little detail.

This was by far the best stay of our entire trip in Namibia. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic, the view was breathtaking, and the pool overlooking the scenery was just perfect. The interior is beautifully designed, everything is brand new and the room was spacious with a large, very comfortable bed. What made it even more special is that it’s a boutique accommodation with only a limited number of rooms. No big, crowded lodge atmosphere, just peace, style and personal attention. We absolutely loved it and were sad we only stayed here for 1 night. If we ever come back to Namibia, we’ll book this stay again!

Animals not naturally home to the area. It’s more like a big zoo.

Isolated location, friendly and welcoming staff, good food, well equipped rooms

Nothing yet. We were told that the lodge will temporarily close for renovation. Let's hope the current perfection will be retained.

Beautiful location, spacious room, high quality. Everything on solar power, so no aircon - no need, thanks to the perfect design. Great walks on well indicated paths through the hills and plains. Good vegetarian menu.

Breakfast was Ok but could be improved (eg no egg order but just a buffet style scrambled and boiled eggs; no vegetables…)

The lodge is situated in a beautiful domain with amazing views. It has its own hiking trails which are easy to follow. Room was the best one of our Africa trip: very big, perfectly clean and with a big terrace with nice views on the mountains. Dinner is delicious and also served outside with the nice view. Pool and fireplace are also really nice.

It was mainly superb but two things for improvement are worth mentioning. The shower floors were beautiful but very slippery and positively dangerous. UHT milk should be put in the rooms - cremora in good tea or coffee does not go well!

This lodge is situated in a beautiful setting. The staff were charming and helpful. The rooms were beautiful, the dinner was superb and the early morning game drive was very interesting and informative. We wished that we could stay another night.

Aircon in the rooms are non negotiable in the extreme heat of this setting. The physical discomfort, because of the heat, subtracted from the enjoyment of the place itself. Unit 16 has an aircon but it is completely insufficient for the size of the unit.

Most beautiful setting in the mountains of Namibia. Wonderful lookout over the mountains to watch the sunset. Friendly staff and excellent dinner in this remote location. Beautiful unit overlooking the mountains.

Would have been nice to have a minibar with complimentary water in the rooms.

Beautiful lodge and setting. Very friendly staff and great facilities. The food was delicious.

Some small points. The pillows were a bit bouncy and the sheets would have been nicer to have softer smoother cotton ones.

From the start the staff were very welcoming and friendly. There is a lovely atmosphere and the staff seem very happy which made us feel comfortable. They were very attentive and helpful. We upgraded our room to the superior suite which was fantastic and tastefully decorated. It all looked brand new. Everything was spotless. The food was very good and cooked freshly. A good selection of cereal and cooked food for breakfast with good coffee. There was a small swimming pool and I noticed brand new mountain bikes although we didn’t use those. There was some upgrading of older suites going on but we were compensated with free drinks.

Unfortunately, there was no air-conditioning. There was a standing fan in the room, but it was very warm at night.

It's a beautiful place, serene. Very clean and had a lovely pool & stunning view from our room. The room was lovely. The staff, exceptional. The food was good. Sat out after dinner watching the animals come for a drink at the water hole. That was amazing! Beautiful sunset view from the restaurant.

What didn't we like. Watching giraffes from the deck, amazing backdrop. Incredible sunset drive, many animals seen with an informative guide. Sunrise bike ride. Cooling pool.

Superior room was a lovely separate bungalow apart from the main lodge, super privat and well appointed.
