Our visit got of to a very poor start when the lodge were only expecting us for one night's bed and breakfast, but we had paid Expedia for two night's half-board. The reception staff eventually accepted our voucher for two nights, but the reception manager told us we would have to pay for dinner. It was only after dinner on our second night, when we spoke to Schalk Mueller, the lodge manager, that everything was resolved to our satisfaction. This somewhat spoiled our stay, however it would not put me off returning.

A lovely property with nice facilities and game drive options, with the added bonus of free tea and cake in the afternoon to provide a welcoming feel. The overall impression of the staff was that they're friendly, but with limitations. We didn't require dinner, but wanted an evening drink at the bar. This caused considerable consternation and discussion between 3 members of staff before they would serve us. Similarly our initial enquiry of whether we could check in an hour early, this was met with a come back at check in time (14.00) response, without checking whether the room was ready, or would be ready early. Understandable but very blunt.

A great location and worth spending 2 nights en route to Etosha. Nearby to Africat for a day visit. Very affordable. Game drive is worth doing too.

Elegant lodge in beautiful surroundings
The room was comfortable and tastefully furnished, with a huge bathroom. Our game drive in the morning provided us with great sightings of rhinos, warthogs, giraffes, many antelopes, camels and even meerkats. The

Leider enttäuschend
Dies war die enttäuschendste Unterkunft auf unserer dreiwöchigen Namibia-Reise. Zwar kamen wir spät an, aber man hätte uns schon noch fragen können ob wir noch am Game Drive teilnehmen wollen. Das Zimmer war schmutzig und am Moskito-Nest befand sich eine grosse Anzahl an Moskitos. Es musste erst einmal gesprüht werden. Beim Dinner gab es nur ein Menu und man zeigte keine Flexibilität. Für einen trockenen Salat sollten wir schliesslich den vollen Preis bezahlen. Leider waren auch zwei grosse Reisegruppen anwesend, die eine unwillkommene Stimmung hinterliessen. Bei Frühstück sollte man für einen Cappuccino extra bezahlen. Dafür gab es die Stimmung wieder kostenlos. Nichts wie weg, dachten wir uns. Wir kommen nicht wieder.

Bellissimo lodge e sopratutto ottima cucina, la migliore che abbiamo provato in Namibia! La camera era in verità una casetta, quindi molto spaziosa. Il personale é cortese anche se non molto cordiale.
