We spent two nights at the lodge while exploring north/east of Etosha national park and we absolutely loved it. It’s a hidden gem with its own private entrance gate and view of the national park. Staff and service is fantastic as well.

The experience of having an unhindered view of the grassland while lying in the bed is beyond words. This accommodation provides a great experience in feeling remote, but in a safe, convenient, and luxurious environment. The place is away from the main tourist crowd and is worth the drive further north to the King Nehale Gate. Representation of the Aawambo people and culture is beautifully detailed through the decor, hospitality, and food options. I wish I could have the interior designer work on my house! Our family enjoyed the stay and wished we could stay longer. Although we were on a family trip, the location would be ideal for a romantic getaway. The afternoon safari guide was well done. The hot water does run out, so time showers according. Laundry service is stellar, the room was immaculately clean, the food is top-notch, and the staff provide an authentic and welcoming environment. I greatly recommend this lodging.

The room with private pool was absolutely beautiful! Food was good. Waterhole excursion was good, just the road needs some work and it’s quite a distance away. We wish we had not booked game drives prior as we ended up doing our own drive into the park, saw lots, big herds of elephant are great to see.

Our favourite hotel in Namibia!

By far the best room I stayed in in Namibia. Large, bright and luxurious, with lots of welcome extras, and the plunge pool so refreshing at the end of the day. The food was very good and the staff were tripping over themselves to offer us help. There were lots of animals at nearby watering holes. It’s relatively new and my advice would be to get there before the secret is out!

An enjoyable stay (2 nights)

Lovely room and very large bed. Really enjoyed the view of “absolutely nothing but landscape for as far as you could see” from the bed (great substitute TV) Lovely to look at but not very practical taps (waterstill running for some time after tap is closed) in the bathroom, especially as they preach about saving waterthere (and very where else). Welcome drinks in the fridge / night cap Port in the room. Private plunge pool. Very varied buffet for dinner and for breakfast (for a very few guests). Lots of attention to detail. A most enjoyable stay.

Schöne Lodge ganz im Norden des Etosha

Schöne Lodge ganz im Norden des Etosha. Etwas lange Anfahrt von Windhoek. Im grossen und Ganzen sehr schöne Lodge, liegt aber mit Sauberkeit etwas hinter der "Schwester-Lodge" Desert Grace zurück. Bei Ankunft und während dem Aufenthalt etwas klebrige Böden im Zimmer. Insektenreste im Kissenbezug, die vom Personal nicht bemerkt wurden trotz schwarzen Flecken. Haben wir dann selbst entfernt. Sonst aber sehr schöne, ökologische Anlage mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Wir möchten Hilma für Ihre freundliche Bedienung im Restaurant herzlich danken. WIFI in den Zimmern nicht brauchbar. Und im Hauptgebäude ab 21.30 Uhr auch nicht mehr und eher langsam. Betten sehr bequem und hochwertige Bettbezüge.

Eine absolut einzigartige Unterkunft mit tollem Ambiente, gutem Essen und schönen Bungalows. Leider kann der Service nicht ganz mit den Preisen mithalten und bei der Onlinebuchung muss man sich auf nicht vermeidbare Zusatzkosten gefasst machen, die nicht ersichtlich sind (Es ist nur Frühstück inkludiert, was nicht ersichtlich ist und auch überhaupt keinen Sinn macht an diesem Ort). Die Prozesse funktionieren nicht so haben wir viel Zeit damit verbracht am Ende deutlich mehr als gebucht zu zahlen. Der Unterschied zwischen Freundlichkeit und einem zuvorkommenden Service wir nicht ganz verstanden, was wirklich schade ist und das Erlebnis vor Ort negativ beeinträchtig. Dass einem nahegelegt wird, nächstes Mal direkt zu buchen statt über Expedia, sagt dann auch viel aus. Dem eigene Anspruch eines internationalen Standards zu internationalen Preisen kann also leider nicht entsprochen werden. Trotzdem eine traumhafter Ort und wenn hier ein wenig mehr in das Training der Leute und in ein modernes Serviceverständnis investiert wird, ist eine Höchstbewertung drin. So mussten wir uns doch ein wenig ärgern, dass unsere Zeit dadurch verschwendet wurde, dass viel über nicht funktionierende Prozesse gesprochen wurde und die Rechnung am Ende doch sehr hoch ausfiel in Relation zu vergleichbaren Standards in Namibia mit besserem Service.

Schöner geht es nicht.

Die Lodges sind von außen sehr kühl und futuristisch gehalten. Der Blick führt ins Nichts … . Vor der Terrasse ein eigener kleiner Pool und nichts als Weite. Die unglaubliche Schönheit dieser Landschaft und diese Ruhe ist unbeschreiblich. Wir waren 3 Nächte dort und ich habe es sehr genossen. Super Küche, tolles Team … Ich fand es einfach nur toll.
