    I loved the location of the property. It is a halfway point from Swakpmund to Sesriem. That is why we chose to stay here for the night.

    The facilities and rooms were very stylish and wonderful. Also, the view from the lodge and the starry sky were very beautiful, and the staff was kind and good. The view from the pool was also refreshing and good.

    The Lodge is quite beautiful with quaint stone-walled rooms and an outlook over the desert, including rom the pool. The meals were excellent and the staff very welcoming. Its a great stopover to break up a long journey through the Namib.
