Liked: Cleanliness
A beautiful place if you’re looking for solitude and enjoy swimming or drinking. If, however, you’re not a drinker or swimmer then there’s not too much more to do apart from taking walks. No fridge or TVs in the rooms. Meal was buffet style so if you didn’t like much on the menu you still had to pay full price. For me, personally, it didn’t work somI transferred to the Namibian Desert Lodge which, in my opinion, was much better.

Amazing! There was a eland in the yard right outside our door. There were about a dozen people singing at our dinner which made a wonderful dinner even more memorable. The room was beautiful. I highly recommend this property.

Nice lodge, quiet town
Lovely lodge, helpful staff and very kind and friendly nice walks nearby. Sundowner drive a bit uneventful - and I imagine it's usually the case--but the drinks and guides were all a treat. One note is that they had trouble finding our reservation.. It took several minutes and staff to eventually find tit. Not sure if this is due to booking on a third party site vs directly.

Lovely hotel on the edge of the Desert.
The lovely hotel is in a private game reserve. The staff is friendly, the rooms are spotless, decorated with copper and wood and fitted with a modern bathroom and a comfortable and relaxing front patio. Sitting in the bar lounge and watching the animals drift by while enjoying a cocktail with the setting sun as the back drop makes for a special evening only to be enhanced by eating a delicious dinner under the stars on the deck of nearby dinning room.

Great desert experience in luxury
The location and facilities are great and the buffet dinner at ND300 is well worth it. We also enjoyed the game drive, but note that the afternoon drives can book out early. We also took the self guided walking tour and were surprised how many animals we saw. Being a lot quieter than the drive allowed us to get quite close to them.

Lovely, quiet and beautifully maintained.
We needed a place to stay on our way back from camping in Koakoland to Cape Town. What a lovely place, quiet and beautifully decorated and maintained, with friendly and efficient staff. A perfect place after 'roughing it' in the bush.
