Beautiful, well thought hospitality. There's a waterhole right in front of the pool where you can see some of the wildlife drinking. Food and specially service were amazing, staff waited for us to arrive around 21.20 and had our requested meals warm and ready to be brought to our bedroom right away. We're regreting not staying longer.

fantastic designed hotel, great location and environment. but a lot of details are not just right, lack of maintenance. if all those details were fixed, this would really be a luxury experience, for now that's just not the case but the price is quite cheap so the value you're getting is still great at the moment.

A great place to stay if you're exploring eastern Etosha. Staff is friendly, food is delicious, and rooms are nice and clean. The only thing that really bothered us was the lack of mosquito nets. We got lots of bug bites at night.

I loved loved loved how luxurious the afriacn themed rooms felt. The food was amazing, three course dinner. The breakfast was really too. Being on the lodge felt like being on a ranch. There was game to observe all day long.

Love the hotel, the rooms, the pool and the water hole, but please please please change the evening food. The service was rather slow, the 5 courses were below average and the sorbet each night was like cold water.

Wowthis beautiful, stylish, friendly and intimate hotel is exactly what you need at Etosha, we would HIGHLY recommend you to choose this place for any Etosha visit.
Positives
It's 11km from Etosha gate, 30km from the first watering hole, it's close enough for it to never be a problem if your plan is to visit Etosha most days of your stay.
The hotel has a watering hole behind it where we saw around 10 different species drinking, including giraffe and zebra. There is a viewing platform with two floors looking over the hole. You can sip on an evening drink and watch as the animals come and go. Just stunning.
Having only 17 rooms it felt very intimate and personal. The rooms are all set around a courtyard with beautiful plants and trees and goats roam freely around keeping the grass trimmed. Each room has AC, a TV, amenities for the bathroom, and very comfortable beds. Two mattresses which can easily be pushed together if a couple or separated for friends. Each night the maid will light candles and leave a bottle of water beside the bed, a great touch. Beds exceptionally comfortable and room cool with a gorgeous airy ceiling.
Meals wow just wow, our evening meals were set with a choice for the main course. We had FIVE courses every night. A small taster to start, then a smallish starter. Then a sorbet pallet cleanser. Then your main which is substantial. Examples were king klip fish, Oryx steak, braised shank, chicken cor don bleu etc. Dessert was always small but always tasty.
The poolit's a salt water affair which means it's cloudy, but it's fine to swim in. Their are only 10 Sun loungers as most guests visit the park they don't seem to need more. Communal areas are boutique and stunning, if a little hot. We had 42 degree heat!
Staffthey are quite young and some inexperienced in hospitality, however they all have a smile on their faces and enjoy their work. The manageress is very warm and welcoming and really wanted to ensure you have a great time. They organised for a breakfast take away when we entered the park at sunrise so we ate our breakfast while watching hyaenas drinking, alone!
Negatives
Really very few! However to write something
The wifi is slow and comes in and out. You won't be able to post of Facebook easily or watch you tube! Do remember thoughyou're in the middle of nowhere and you are here to see the animals! If you are desperate to get work done or get online, wait till 10am when most guests are in the park as the wifi strength is better when less people are using it.
Water pressure, on a few occasions the shower pressure was out and so we just had a trickle, this was acknowledged by the staff who got it fixed by morning.
Some TLC required, two sofas were grubby and in need of a wash! Some light fittings need fixing, tables glass was broken, etc! Overall it was nothing massive but they need a little work.
Overall this is a stunning venue and we would stay here again in a heartbeat! To find something this beautiful is hard in this region. If you like modern design and sleek lines you will love this place. The staff and food make it just perfect.response / report this review -
