    Nothing, everything was perfect.

    The location next to Etosha, the amazing interior design, the food and the tents and the staff was amazing. I really regret that we just stayed for two nights.

    Fabulous location close to Etosha Park. Beautiful room with both indoor and outdoor showers. We really enjoyed the food and the service. We booked morning and afternoon safari through the hotel. It was on the expensive side but we had an amazing time.

    Nice outpost, great location, but missing the gym or walking trails.

    It definitely need a gym and / or walking trails, since after several hours spent into the vehicle on safari you really need to stretch a little bit your legs. The fact that there is no chance to walk or to do gym is a real minus. If they implement gym or trails we will be back to this place definitely, otherwise we must select other location even if with less intimacy and atmosphere. Safety staff should be more present and attentive, since they claim to have predators in the property, but during the late evening they just have a walk around and then they spend time very close to the lobby, leaving tents and paths to the tents without proper guard. Tents are nice and clean but need a bit of renovation (you can see they are high standard, but start to be a bit old).

    Great position, nice intimacy and atmosphere. Nice and small structure, with taylor-made feeling and wonderfully nestled into the bush. The lobby was amazing, while the tents are nice and clean but need a bit of renovation. The property itself has wildlife inside and we have been welcomed by giraffes at the sunset. Amazing. Food is good and much better when served at the table, rather than the bush-buffet, as served at the table was prepared with excellent carefulness and boosted the nice and romantic atmosphere of this nice lodge. They do have also some nice wines in the wine list. Staff is very attentive, but some of them could be a little more friendly and less stiff as sometimes the feeling was like they were doing you a gesture, rather then being glad to host you.

    Rooms are amazing but just be aware: these are safari tents and if you experience any rain, you may find your belongings are a little damp

    We liked everything about the property and the photos definitely do it justice. Amazing staff and service, food was outstanding, just a perfect spot. We were lucky enough to see wart hogs and banded mongoose on the lawn.

    Everything about this lodge was very stylish and beautifully presented. Staff were exceptional. We loved the warthogs, dik diks and mongoose who roamed freely in the grounds. The tents had an indoor and outdoor shower which was novel and certainly appreciated the air/con. Was nice to have homemade cookies, fresh milk and ground coffee available in the tent. We loved the napkin rings too !!!

    This was our favourite place we stayed at in Namibia. Staff and service were great. They attended to our room multiple times during the day to open close the windows, getting the beds rooms ready for sleeping while we were at dinner etc. The room very pretty and cosy both with a nice indoor and outdoor shower. The bed very wide and so comfortable, also the duvet and pillows so comfortable. The general areas are nicely decorated and the have a fire in the evening you can sit around for pre dinner drinks, super cosy. The food was also very good. We did a safari excursion booked through the hotel and we got a private tour into the Etosha park and the guide was so knowledgable and friendly. Strongly recommend!

    Would have preferred a full size bed vs two double beds.

    A Beautiful property all around. The main lodge is light, airy, and very inviting. The decor is well thought out too. The tented room was perfect- Lots of privacy and always clean. The staff was incredible and made our stay that much more memorable. Food was extremely creative and fresh daily. We enjoyed every meal! At sundown, the fire is always going… there is just so much attention to detail here. They even arranged a delicious lunch for us our last day since we had a long drive to the next location. We look forward to our return!

    The WiFi - only available at the reception area (no problem) but we had some work to do during our stay. Unfortunately this was made very difficult by the poor WiFi.

    We stayed for 2 nights after staying within the park for 2 nights. The welcome and facilities in the reception, restaurant area were fabulous. So many beautiful birds near by. The food all excellent. Our room was very comfortable and had everything you could wish for. We woke in the morning with the impala walking around outside our room The pool was a welcome respite from the heat and dust of the game drive. We arranged a game drive with the lodge for our first morning and it was so good we booked on another that afternoon. We saw a lot of game during our drive and enjoyed coffee or drinks during our drive.

    I didn’t like the thick duvet as it was too hot. There was no alternative ie sheet and blankets.

    I liked the outside shower, and the boma dinner.

    The swimming pool was cold, as it gets very chilly at night. There’s no internet in the room, and a gym or some mats to do yoga outside would be great!

    A beautiful lodge located about 20 min driving distance from the Namutoni Gate. We did two safaris in one day, Petrus our guide, was fantastic in spotting rhinos. The tents are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The outdoor shower at night is fabulous. The food was great too, their flapjacks were phenomenal. We were there when they organised a bush dinner, which is a buffet, it was delicious and they made the best tomato soup I have ever had. The curio shop has a great selection, especially the napkin holders! The staff was super friendly and helpful. We couldn’t have dreamt of a better location to start our trip in Namibia.

    This was by far the best accommodation of our 2-week trip. Beautiful tents with 2 showers (indoor and outdoor) and super comfy beds. Amazing food - we joked that we should stay for a few more nights just to try all dinner menus. Fantastic safari experience, scoring all major animals over two game rides. And last but not least - friendly, fun and welcoming staff.

    Meals are served at 7.30pm and guests are all served each course at the same time. We would have preferred more flexibly but it didn't impair our enjoyment.

    A very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The rooms are 'tents' but feel like substantial rooms. Private, peaceful, spacious, spotless, great air conditioning, excellent showers (inside and out - our room had both), faultless service, friendly staff. WiFi is reliable. The food was very good. The accommodation was almost full (7 out of 8 rooms occupied) but the lounge, terrace and pool still felt very uncrowded, even with all guests present. Its location is very convenient for Etosha with the Von Lindequist Gate Gate being only about a 15 minute drive away. This is a wonderful place to stay.
