There is nothing not to like here.

Anna and Andrew are just awesome. You gotta love them. Always checking up on you to see if you’re ok. Great breakfast. Awesome dinner. What more can you ask for. If you are a big family with a couple of kids this is your place. Please bear in mind: This is not a place for loud noises and bantering. It’s a place where people come to search their souls, reflect and find their meaning to life.

Nothing!

Beautiful place! We were welcomed very kindly by the owners. We had taken the cheapest rooms, they were still comfortable and clean. They also offer excursions, the most beautiful should be those for stargazing, the view of these is spectacular. Unfortunately we were tired and we did not take advantage. For those who are passionate stargazers it is an ideal place, it also has stations for telescopes. Very good dinner, as well as breakfast. I thank the owners for their hospitality!

Rooisand is an oasis in the middle of the desert! Absolutely beautiful setting, very nice accommodation (we stayed in the Comfort rooms). Delicious food, served together with the owners and the other guests - we enjoyed the friendly, communal environment. We did the "Astro Tour" with Axel which we really enjoyed, a chance to see the amazing night sky through the telescope/observatory. We also enjoyed hiking in the grounds. We loved our stay here and would love to come back one day! Highly recommended.

The rooms are out of date but contain everything necessary.

Rooisand is a little oasis in the middle of nowhere. It is an excellent place for stargazers, nature enthusiasts and people who like a homey and personal atmosphere.

Very long wait to check in due to late leaving of previous guests.

Beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff. Very quiet. Amazing night skies. Fenced area around the chalet.

Great place to stay, with good food and super friendly staff. My daughter wasn’t feeling very well so they kindly made another simple dinner for her to have back in the room. The view of the stars was also to die for.

Staff were absolutely incredible, I felt like I was visiting family. They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and took care of everything I could have ever needed. I already can't wait to return!

Too windy.

We arrive late at night. The owner couples were very nice. They told us how to drive safe in the gravel road and help us release tire pressure to make sure we are ok on the road. They offer delicious dinner and breakfast.

Chalet too far from the reception and the staff did not prepare the 2 additional beds by themselves

Property was good

We were on a cycling trip and this was our one luxury rest day. We were the only guests so had a great time, the large pool was ours! The staff were all very helpful and looked after us, even though we were two very hungry, very dusty cyclists. The food was excellent. We didn't know what to expect as we hadn't stayed in such a place previously but it turned out to be perfect for our much needed break. We took the cheapest room, small with two single beds, but it was perfectly comfortable.

It was wonderful to stay at the Rooisand Desert Ranch, which is a great location in a very beautiful area near the Gamsberg Nature Reserve and mountain (approximately 10 km away but in easy viewing distance). The ranch is a natural stop for people traveling between Windhoek and the coast and/or desert. The area has a very clear sky at night, and people sometimes come from afar to watch the stars. There is a path / dirt road to a viewing / stargazing platform a few kilometers from the ranch. It is within easy walking distance, but it is also possible to drive there. I went for a random morning walk in in the neighboring hills and encountered several zebra, springboks and many different kinds of birds. The management and staff were very hospitable and welcoming.

A little noisy around the room early in the morning but nothing too terrible!

‘Family style’ meals allowed us to get to know the host and was a welcome touch.

The rooms are dated and oddly appointed but clean and comfortable. The dinner provided was food rather than a meal, and the wine was disappointing at the price charged. The breakfast was better with good options.

Star-viewing through their awesome telescope was our reason to visit Rooisand, which was fun, in particular because it was presented by a layman and not an Astrophysicist, which made it made it more relatable for our family.
