Gmundner Lodge: One of a Kind

I had the great opportunity to stay at the Gmundner Lodge in Namibia. This place feels like heaven on earth. The scenery is so calming, pure and beautiful. Some highlights were the fantastic food (using homegrown ingredients), the absolute lovely staff and the horseback riding where I saw great animals (e.g. giraffes). Thank you for showing me the beauty of Namibia!

Exclusive lodge and unforgettable experience!

We stayed at Gmundner Lodge for three nights to relax before our trip home. Our stay was nothing short of incredible, a true 6-star experience and one of the best lodges I have ever been to (and I travel a lot!). The staff went above and beyond to make our time special, even surprising my mom with a cake for her upcoming birthday. The service was flawless, and the lodge itself is pure luxury!

On Top of the World

This was an over the top Namibia lodge experience second to none! And all inclusive means all inclusive. Leave your wallet at home. Food, drink, airport transfers, horseback riding, even massages, all included. I tried a similar place in Dubai that didn’t even come close to this beautiful place with their offerings. The staff couldn’t do enough for us! We loved them all-Michael, Isak, and Thathenda took especially good care of us. Windhoek was an easy flight from Cape Town and a Gmundner truck with a cooler full of beverages was waiting for us when we landed. I can’t say enough about this experience. Ask for the mountaintop sunset cocktails if you go.

An absolute highlight

I had the pleasure of staying at Gmundner at the end of my Namibia adventure - and what better ending could there be? Lovely staff, very welcoming. The villas are just stunning, and the ultimate luxury among the high quality accommodations I could enjoy throughout the country. Last but not least, excellent food prepared by an amazing team. I shall be more than happy to visit Gmundner again.
