It was a beautiful, scenic place where the hotel is situated. However, the trek (with all our luggage) to the room was long - up and down stairs- which is not mentioned in the description of the hotel.

This was an amazing find at the end of my business trip. The rooms are clean and spacious. The views are to die for. And the food was excellent. I stayed in one of the bungalows with an open unobstructed view of the mountains and valley, was able to see zebra, oryx, kudu, baboons and steinbok right from my little porch. Will be coming back on future trips for sure.

If you want to start your Namibia holiday straight after landing, this is a good place to start. Only 8 mins drive to Windhoek, it has stunning views from almost anywhere on the property, friendly staff, good food (dinner and breakfast). Visits from Cody the cat was a bonus.

Very nice location with great views: either towards the hills or towards the city. Great and friendly service with a smile. Rooms are well done with space for luggage. A small personal patio (or stoep as they call it) with comfortable chairs when used with the cushions from the inside chairs.

A great place to stay near Windhoek

A perfect place to stay after a long overnight flight. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were comfortable and quiet. Restaurant meals were lovely - tasty and very well cooked. We had an excellent night's sleep and were sorry that our plans meant that we could not stay longer.

Great location for the airport. About 20 mins by taxi/shuttle. Great views. Evening meal was excellent but choice limited to a set menu of one! Room was very comfortable. Good views from patio and restaurant. I’d definitely recommend
