Very friendly staff. The dinner was fantastic. The staff surprised everyone with a very nice welcome song. Extremely nice to relax by the pool and have the wild animals walk over to the waterhole right next to the pool.

Carlos, United States of America

Absolutely luxurious stay very close to Etosha. Dinners and drinks were excellent and affordable. Staff were friendly and provided lots of small touches to make our stay special. The pool area is beautiful and we really enjoyed watching the game at the watering hole every evening.

Friendly welcome with tea and snacks, followed by a heavenly foot massage. Took our breath away with animal water hole and evening boma while having sundowners at the poolside. Absolutely delicious gourmet dinner followed by a beautifully made up candlelit room.

Morne, South Africa

There was a very good watering hole that various grazing animals came at dusk, including Zebra, Kudu, Eland, Wart Hogs and Springbok. The rooms are large with very nice bathrooms.

Pool was green / barely netted to fish out bugs. Also they had limited chlorine in the pool Food was really poor - hotel was trying to be high end cuisine, but should have focused on the basics (had to send lunch back one day) Mosquito nets in rooms should be the ambition Very mixed bag of staff - some great, some still need a lot of coaching Cocktails made from frozen mix
Great building, grounds, and decor Great waterhole and animals Really nice pool and deck setup Good flexibility on requests eg 6 hour turnaround on laundry Great rooms

The room was extremely hot even with the AC and the bed was pretty hard and uncomfortable.
The facilities were great - nice pool, bar, restaurant with access to see a watering hole. Many animals came to the watering hole. Rooms and bathroom were spacious and clean. The employees were great going out of their way to accommodate our needs.

“Nice place to stay and near to Etosha”

Nothing really ... the drain on the shower was partially blocked but that was put right when we reported it. Seemed a bit short of staff and occasionally had to go looking for staff in order to get a drink at the bar (but again maybe because the hotel was so quiet they felt they didn't need so many staff on)
Beds were very comfortable and the rooms and bathrooms certainly don't stint on size so you weren't falling over your luggage and belongings like you do in some hotel rooms. Food was good but would have liked more choice for the evening meal. However as the hotel was quite quiet I guess that may have had something to do with the lack of choice. Breakfast was great, lovely mushroom omelette. Great viewing area over the waterhole where many different types of animals arrive during the evening.

“A Wonderful Gem Close To Etosha”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
This is a wonderfully designed property with matured manicured gardens. The property sits close to the Namutoni Gate entrance which is approx 20 mins away. We took our own car into the National Park and found that to be very easy and convenient. The entire design of the main building, the annex villas, the use of space and flow have been merticulously planned. It must not have been an easy construction in Namibia with many certain setbacks, but this labor of love is testament of dedication to the bigger picture. The challets have very high ceilings, with good air circulation, thus having mosquito nets would defeat the purpose of the high ceilings. We did not have a problem with mozzies and repellent is readily available at the front desk. Suggest shutting the room door immediately after entering or exiting to eliminate any chances of letting the odd mozzie thru. The interiors compliment the exteriors, with polished cement and wood as the interior elements. The bed is set up as two separate mattresses on a platform that can be pushed together to form one large bed and viola! We have a sleeping arrangement good enough for the couple. In the room is a safebox, desk and all the comforts and amenities a luxury room has. The air-conditioning works well in hot temperatures and the bathroom is a sheer luxury of space. Look out thru the partially frosted bathroom door into your room and you just might see an ostrich peeking in your back window :p Every evening, two bottles of water is left outside on the pattio which is a nice touch and sunsets by the watering hole where some wildlife feed are simply amazing. The pool is salt water but we had only two nights here and thus no time for a dip!! Neither did we indulge in the free foot massage service offered to the guests! Dining options are favourable. With no where else to dine nearby, the dinner service offered to guests is limited but good.

“Exceptional hotel and an amazingly good price.”

Absolutely nothing, it was faultless.
This was the best place we stayed in our four week tour of Namibia. Everything is faultless. The whole hotel is beautifully designed, not just aesthetically, but totally practical as well. How rare it is to find a hotel room with a light, mirror and hairdryer all together, but this hotel provided that in both the bedroom and bathroom. Beds comfortable, superb linens, fast free internet everywhere, free foot massages! The swimming pool is long enough to do lengths, and is warm and clean. There is a raised viewing gallery over a private waterhole where you can the animals come and go, and although this is outside the park reserve, we saw eland, ostrich and dikdik, as well as enjoy the sunset with a cocktail. The service was the best we received anywhere and all meals were absolutely delicious. The grounds are well landscaped and maintained to provide a lush oasis after the dried up scrub of the outside world. Local entertainment is provided by a resident maribou stork who is very mischievous and tries to steal towels and tablecloths! Don't bother with NWR camp in Namutoni, unless you particularly want to be in Etosha before sunrise or after sunset. This is by far the better place, and is amazingly good value for the quality provided.
