A lovely place in the middle of nowhere. The rooms were nice but I was missing an AC and a refrigerator. Also it is not nice to have the rooms so close next to each other. I don't want to hear other people talk or flush their toilets
Wifi worked nicely at the reception. Buffet was delicious and offered everything you could ask for. Staff was very friendly.
Unfortunately I couldn't enjoy their pool, which just looks spectacular in that rocky area.

Nice lodge, friendly staff. Well provided curio-shop. 2000 year old rock petrogliphs right on the lodge (but do not miss the world-renowned rock art site, 10 km away from the lodge either).Petrol station and workshop for minor car reparations available at the lodge (managed to change a flat tyre there). Stargazing. Safaris to Aba-Huab river in search of the dessert adapted elephants. Airstrip.

Very good place to stay with a nice view as well. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that some of the sheets used in the hotel seemed to be a bit yellow showing that they were not super clean

Road to the lodge is very bad. But fantastic view from the deck and lounge. Food is delicious. Very comfortable rooms. Parking a bit far from the rooms. Staff very helpful. Enjoyed the one night there. Pity we couldn't stay longer. Swimming Divine. Guides tours to the Twyfelfontein site has become very overrated.

This place is just great. Just below a rock mountain is like an Oasis in the desert. Rooms are good in size, nice beds, good bathroom. Good breakfast and dinner and nice small cold pool.

Extremely hot! I would recommend the lodge investing in airconditioners for the rooms.

Pros:
- elephant tracking tour is good, do sign up for this in advance. We saw lots of elephants that day and some other animals too. Guide was very good.
- Wifi was slow, but usable. Only accessible in the main lobby.
- Great bar area with a good view across the landscape (no animals though), and reasonable prices
- Bed is comfortable and we got a good nights sleep

Cons:
- rooms are very dark, and "rustic" style. So best type of room to just come and sleep for the 8 hours.
- No aircon, just a ceiling fan (speed cannot be changed)
- If you get a mountain facing view, it is very depressing
- The room rate might be "cheap", but you're locked in to have dinner there, which is an exorbitant $325 pp buffet.
- The buffet was not that good either
- Hygiene for buffets is questionable, as they allow birds to fly into the dining area and land and walk on the salads and other food, and do nothing to chase them out
- Breakfast quality was average - standard eggs and several hot dishes, and also some fruits and cold meats and cheese
- Pool is tiny and only good for a dip
- Lunch is also buffet (but a more "reasonable" $245) but also nothing special
- No tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms, no fridge either

Overall there seems to be a lack of good value for money accommodation in the area. I would maybe go higher end (Mowani, etc) or maybe skip this leg of the trip, than stay at Twyfelfontein Country Lodge.

OR bring your own lunch and dinner foods (e.g. instant noodles, they have hot water in the common area)

Best location of this area. Luxury rooms (especially the unique and unforgettable VIP). All the tunes of red colour at sunrise and sunset. Go to look for the desert elephants

Long, dry, dusty dirt road to get here but, the Lodge is super, the pool is perfect, the food fantastic, the wildlife breathtaking, sundowner not to be missed, petroglyphs inspiring, living museum captivates but best of all is the amazing and beautiful people!

Lovely setting with fantastic staff and a most welcome swimming pool in this hot part of the world. Please have a cold beer at the bar overlooking the pool and just stay

Region is great. Beautifull main building, but unfortunately rooms are quite cramped. Service is uninspired and mediocre. Buffet diner is too expensive for what you get.

Went there to have a buffet lunch after visiting Damara Living Musuem and Organ Pipes. It's certainly a picturesque African-style resort built beside the huge reddish stone. There is even a small pool in this arid land. In front, you can check out the ancient drawings on the stone, this is a part of the surrounding areas of impressive 5000-year-old ancient drawings

Just had a bad experience at Twyfelfontein country Lodge because during an organized tour for elephants the car of the lodge had 2 flat tyres (6pm) We were only 1 hour far away from the lodge but they rescued us after 3 hours.

The mobile phone of the driver was broken and there was no coverage of network to call the lodge.

So me and the driver went to the top of the hill to search a coverage with my mobile phone. I was the only one that had good tall hiking shoes, not sandals.

At the end - thanks to God - we made a call (It was 7pm)

AT 9pm no one came . . It was cold and windy, we were in the bush and people were scared. The driver lighted a fire for the group. So me and the driver went again in the darkness on top of the hill: made again the call. The driver was worried about the danger and angry against the lodge.

Finally they arrived at 10.30pm.

We had dinner and went to rooms at midnight.

The lodge didn't charge anyone of the group for the activity and for dinner.

So it was nice.

But I paid 30 euro for the roaming and extracharge for the calls helping all of us to come back.

I told this to the reception of the lodge and they didn't refund me. I asked to talk to the manager but he "wasn't available" saying he already decided to not refund me.

So I received the same of others but loosing 400 NAD. I think the behaviour of the manager is very stupid because he damages his reputation and reputation of the lodge for just 400 NAD. This is the cost he gives to his reputation.

Very comfy rooms & very welcoming and helpful staff. What more could you ask for, especially in the middle of nowhere!
