Wow, what an experience!

It is stunning. The room was super comfortable, the food and staff were fantastic and my favourite part of the experience was a nature drive with our guide, Dion. He was knowledgeable and learning about the history of the region and see the rock paintings was incredible. It was magical and I would go back in a heart beat!

Beautiful lodge in fascinating Erongo mountains

The lodge is a beauty and the surroundings are fascinating. This is not a part of the most visited tourist routes, so it feels very relaxing. You could just sit in front of your room or the main building and enjoy the view, complete with the heads of the giraffes moving in slow motion above the bush and the boulders. The food and the service was excellent.
