Tolle Lage in einer Wahninns Landschaft mit tollem Blick. Sehr nettes Personal, gutes Essen und reichhaltiges Frühstück. Die Bungalows liegen sehr ruhig.

Leider ist die Unterkunft von einem neuen Eigentümer übernommen worden und wird von der Zimmeranzahl eingedampft. Zu erwarten ist ein deutlich teureres Level und entsprechende Gäste.

A once in a lifetime experience

8.0

The property is in an amazing location, with fantastic views of the surrounding landscape. The staff were lovely, Jeremiah, Daniel and co looked after us really well. The pool area is an absolute gem for whiling away the heat of the middle of the day. The surrounding hikes gave us a chance to immerse ourselves in the landscape and the view of the night sky was spectacular.

The accommodation was clean and well maintained but it was oppressively hot at that time of the year.

Great location but food and facilities a let down

3.0

The swimming pool and views from the pool are amazing.

The rooms require some updating, the food is absolutely shocking and the WiFi is almost non-existent

lohnenswerter Zwischenstopp zwischen Sossusvlei und Swakopmund

Uns hat der beeindruckende Ausblick auf Landschaft und Tiere aus unserem Häuschen, das außergewöhnliche Design der Unterkunft, das köstliche Essen, die Herzlichkeit und die Fürsorge des Personals gefallen.

Uns hat nichts gefehlt.
