Could unfortunately only stay here for 1 night but the crisp white sheets on the bed and cool aircon will see us back again. The gigantic walk-in-shower with cool water let's you feel like you are standing under a waterfall😜 Outdoor kitchenette and braai area is perfect to watch the sun set while braaing a piece of steak over the Namibian coals.

Great location, beautiful view. Outside kitchen with BBQ. Animals come close for the water. Foxes are cute if you spot them at night.

What a pleasant surprise. Felt like an oasis in the desert. Friendly and very helpful staff upon arrival. Lovely pool area. The cabin was perfect with an outside patio area for a braai with stunning sunset views. Delicious breakfast. We wished we had booked for two nights instead of just one. Also just a a few minutes drive from Sossusvlei gate.

+ Our room/cottage was very spacious + Area outside of our room was just for us, well equipped for BBQ. + We can imagine spending multiple days here + Nearby Sossusvlei Lodge offers great adventures (helicopter flight, trips...) + Sossusvlei Lodge also covers meals for guests. Everything is smoothly connected. We just had to state our room number

I loved the entire room but most specially the outdoor kitchen! That was my favorite!

Loved this property. Especially the outdoors kitchen

Amazing location very close to the park entrance, and in the middle of the desert scenery.

Amazing location near Sossusvlei. Units are very comfortable.

This is a great location from which to visit Sossusvlei and Sesriem. Very nice chalets, a lovely pool and bar area, and helpful staff

Very comfortable. Restaurant a 3 min drive to other property.
