The staff were all incredible, from front desk to dinner, all amazing. Loved this little retreat in the country, you can watch animals at the water hole from the private terrace off your room. Lovely pool area to relax in and they have a campfire in the evening with a view of the water hole. Breakfast was excellent, dinner was on the pricier side for a lodge at N$400 pp but the quality was outstanding so I was ok with it.

Een oase van rust en vriendelijkheid!!

Heerlijke farm met blije mensen. S Avond dineren bij de waterplaats is super romantisch. Het eten is voortreffelijk, applaus 👏 voor kokkie . Leuke wandeling door de bush waar de sabelantilopen zich in rust zich kunnen voortplanten. Eenmaal groot dan gaan ze buiten in de echte bush, mooi project!!

Eine tolle Lodge mit einem sehr freundlichen Team und einer herzlichen Eigentümerfamilie. Das Essen war hervorragend und mit sehr viel Liebe zur Qualität zubereitet. Die Zimmer mit einem direkten Blick aif das Wasserloch sind sauber und praktisch. Beim SunDowner GameDrive mit dem Besitzer sahen wir sogar einen Geparden. Somit alles bestens und wir kommen gerne wieder.

Schöne Lage außerhalb von Otavi. Wenn man Glück hat lassen sich Giraffen und Kudus am Wasserloch beobachten, von der Terrasse und von den Zimmern aus. Das Abendessen ist ein leckeres Buffet. Gerne wieder!

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Sehr gutes Essen. Blick auf eine Wasserstelle sorgt für hervorragende Wildbeobachtung. Achtung, im Frühling und Sommer ist mit Moskitos zu rechnen auch im Zelt. Entsprechende Vorsorge ist zu empfehlen.

Rustikale Ranch mit grossem Wasserloch.

Modern-afrikanische Zimmer mit Terrasse auf das Wasserloch. Das Innere der Ranch ist zünftig-rustikal. Schmackhaftes Essen. Etoscha-Besuch und Spaziergänge in die Umgebung möglich sowie Game drives. Ansonsten gut zum Erholen.
