Subtle, modest, room and facilities located in the beautiful valley between two red dunes. Very clean - room and the surrounding. Crispy white linen with a nice embroidered with two deer. We really relaxed the stay of two nights. The morning San walk was great and included in the room price.

The property is stunning. The staff went out of our way to be kind and helpful. The bungalow was huge and very comfortable. The only wish would be slightly healthier eating options. I would give this property 10 stars

Sérénité et paysage superbe

En retrait de la route principale par un sentier sableux, un 4x4 est nécessaire pour y accéder. Verre d'accueil très frais. Bungalow spacieux et confortable avec terrasse. Lodge isolé, calme, idéal pour se relaxer et être au coeur de la nature. Piscine avec vue sur les animaux (oryx, springbok, ...). Le petit-déjeuner se prend en terrasse à l'étage avec belle vue sur les environs, mais un peu frisquet le matin. Nous avons participé au Sunset drive à travers un paysage de dunes rouges et avons vu quelques girafes, oryx, springbok et 2 rhinocéros. Arrêt au sommet d'une dune où l'apéritif est offert. La découverte du coucher de soleil à cet endroit est un moment intense: beauté, calme, paysage magnifique. Nous n'avons pas aperçu beaucoup d'animaux mais cela reste quand même un très beau souvenir.
