    We loved everything

    Our room was clean and freshly renovated with amazing views. There was no ac in our room, but we did not find this to be an issue at all when we opened the windows and turned on the fan, even during summertime. Christa is an amazing host and really made us feel at home. Would highly recommend doing the nature drive and walks around the property.

    Room doesn’t have aircon but that wasn’t an issue as we left the windows open to let the breeze run through.

    Hotel was great, room modern and spotless, and everyone wonderfully helpful. The evening game drive was a real bonus - amazing views, lovely sunset plus a few animals also.

    drinks were not really cold, you should ask for some ice cubes. We missed the Aardvark during our stay.... But we can't blame Christa for this, that's wildlife, isn't it .

    Great guestfarm. Good cook, and above all, the warmth and friendliness of host Christa... So charming. Spacious rooms with view on a waterhole. Spotted quite some animals in the evening and early in the morning. And what a great pool. Perfect to cool down a bit on a hot day. the place is great, and Christa certainly raises it to the next level.

    Nice accommodation on the edge of the Erongo mountains

    • Stayed 2 nights

    A couch or some easy chairs in the living room would make it more comfortable, also a small refrigerator to keep drinks cool would be nice. Do to the fact that power is only generated by photovoltaic panels, the units do not have A/C. The ceiling fans work well, but it can be rather hot in the summer months.

    We rented a cottage with 2 bedrooms (very comfortable beds), the house was spacious, recently renovated, had a table and chairs in the living room and a large bathroom with shower, hot water was supplied by solar heat. We also had a patio with chairs and a table. The breakfast was very good , consisted of cold cuts, cheese, jam, honey and any form of eggs. Dinner was 3 courses and delicious, lunch was also tasty, the cook was excellent. We also too advantage of the wildlife drive and Sundowner, the manager of the guest farm drove us 3 1/2 hours around the huge property adjoining the grounds where the accommodations were located. We saw many different kinds of antelope and different species of birds, the setting sun provided us with a spectacle in orange and red, well recommended. The large outdoor pool was appreciated on hot days.

    We came here with no expectations and in the end, were sad that we couldnt stay another night. The people on the farm are super friendly and helpful and the guestfarm itself is absolute premium. We did the drive and were super impressed about how many animals we saw in there natuaral habitat. (also the informations shared on the trip and the sundwoner were amazing). Recommendation for the Location and the Drive!

    That our stay was too short!

    Had a wonderful stay at Otjohotozu, only wished we had booked 2 nights. Stunning location, beautifully appointed chalet rooms with private patio overlooking a waterhole where game could be viewed. Great pool. Great food. Friendly enthusiastic and attentive host and staff. Game drives available. One of our best stays, thoroughly recommended.

    Christa and Johan are very nice and caring hosts. They put a lot of effort into the guesthouse and you can tell by the lovely place they have made. The sundowner tour with Johan was fantastic, we saw lots of animals, including around 15 giraffes. The food cooked by Michael was always delicious. There is a very personal feeling at the guestfarm that lets you feel welcome and home. We would book again anytime.

    Very quiet place and a great halfway stop to Etosha or Swakopmund. Food was tremendous and the service was next level. In the Guestfarm you can book affordable game drive or sundown drive at arrival and I would say it was even better than in Etosha. In the drive you will go to very unique locations were you can enjoy a drink. Place had their own waterhole In front of the room and you can basically have almost the same experience as in Etosha. Staff grows their own herbs and Juhan and Christa made the accomodation very personal in a wonderful way. Highly recommended.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice accommodation with small swimming pool to cool off. The game drive is worth doing (bring binoculars for better views of the wildlife) while you’re here with sundowner drinks to finish. Food was nice and cooked fresh both breakfast and dinner. After dinner there’s a fire pit where you can buy a drink and sit around chatting to the host and get to know other guests. The stars at night are amazing due to minimal light pollution from other towns etc. All in all a great find as we booked at the last minute while travelling from Swakopmund to Etosha national park.

    Staying at this guest farm was a highlight of our visit to Namibia… we saw many animals come to drink at the waterhole, just off our bedroom veranda… the chef was exceptional (such delicious food and my gf needs beautifully taken care of)… the walk along the dry riverbed spotting animal tracks was memorable … and best of all was its location in Erongo Nature Conservancy which led to a wonderful morning visiting the San Living Museum.

    Christa (the managerin) is a lovely person who tries to make the best stay for everyone. She provides a lot of tips and information on what to do around the area. We really enjoyed the Sundowner Drive with Johann. He explained a lot about the area and answered all our questions. Dinner and breakfast were also really good. Overall a really great and relaxing stay. It is a cute little oasis in the Erongo moun tains.
