    The stay is quite expensive.

    The location is amazing. The view over the valley is a highlight of our trip. The way up to the property is a bit challenging, but was worth experiencing yourself. The staff was so friendly, they even gave a surprise singing performance. The food was a menu with local game, that was cooked straight on point. Compliments to the chef! Best game steak we had in Namibia!

    The pool was cold, it was more a cold plunge! The rhino safari was very long + 10hours, it takes you 2 hours of driving before reaching the start of the game drive, and we didn’t see rhino.. it was also pricey for the experience in my opinion! Also the ride was extremely bumpy (not recommended for old people)

    The view from the lodge is just amazing, especially with the amount of rain we’ve got this year. The chalet was comfy, it would have been nice to have a double bed as a couple. The food at breakfast & dinner was very good !

    You cannot have a better view! Damaraland is spectacular but scarce of animals.

    We did the rhino tracking, which is organized by the lodge, and took about 10 hours through very rough terrain. The guides tried very hard, but failed to find any animals besides one giraffe. The rhinos are very shy, and sightings are scarce. Don't go unless you are a rhino fanatic.

    Amazing location, amazing food!

    This lodge offers an incredible stay at a beautiful remote and stunning location. The staff are extraordinary. So kind, helpful and informative. The food is delicious, the rooms are breathtaking and the experiences they offer are once in a life time. A special thank you to our guide Calvin, who explained the magic of the landscape and wildlife of Damaraland. Thank you Grootberg!

    The lodge is in the most stunning location with views for miles and miles which blew us away. It felt like a slice of paradise and the icing on the cake was tracking a black rhino. A wonderful place and we loved our stay.

    It was not an issue for us, but anyone with limited mobility would have a hard time. This is not a criticism.

    The rooms have seen better days, don‘t expect modern furniture. The chairs on the terrace have partly been broken, which is a bit sad if you would like to enjoy the private view. A bit overpriced.

    Absolutely stunning views! The pool and the main lodge are great! Also the view from your private terrace is just amazing. The service is super friendly, we even got a singing and dancing session from the kitchen staff and waitresses. The food was delicious.

    The family room was spacious, but the walls were open on top so there wasn’t much privacy between bedrooms and bathroom.

    The view is incredible. You need 4WD to get to the lodge, but if you don’t have it, they will drive you up. I think it was charming. The food was good. Staff was kind and attentive.
