The staff were excellent and very accommodating. The dinner was superb. The Namibia Grill Platter with pepper sauce was better than a lot of high end restaurants as was the homemade ice cream and peaches for dessert. The facilities are simple, no TV in room and internet only in the common area but if you want a quiet get away, for the price, a very good bargain.

Outstanding views right off the patio connected by a fully opening door to the room Restaurant opened to the patio was an asset as well as a problem. There were pesky moths that continued coming around the inside tables. Cigarette smoke from the patio was annoying. wonderful lightning storm, friendly staff

Nice place for a night before flight

The family room was very nice, clean and comfortable - good value other than them increasing the price on arrival due to a “mistake” with hotels.com . Not too pleased with that being something that was to come out of pocket for me . The airport shuttle was quite overpriced for Namibia standards at 180 N per person for a 15 minute drive, but was reliable and on time - very pleasant driver. All in all , it is a nice place to stay for a night before an early flight . Otherwise, I don’t see why one would want to stay here given how isolated it is.

The location is beautiful isolated place halfway between Windhoek and the airport. It is right next door to BOBO Camper Rental Depot and close to the B6 highway and yet no noise or impact from either. The swimming pool is great and overlooks the bushveld and mountains beyond. The restaurant and food are excellent. Highly recommend this hotel and campsites. The staff are wonderful and super helpful.
