"Elegant Farmstead review"

1 night Arrived 12 Dec 2012
"This was a good first stop after our long flight as it was only a reasonably short journey being just before reaching Okahanja. The road to the Farmstead was pretty rough due to many reconstructions taking place at the moment on the 27.5 Km D2102.

Warm welcome from the manageress, very quiet here, only two other guests. Very nice garden area and pool. Not a lot of wild life seen. Our room was very comfortable and the evening meal was excellent ." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Elegant Farmstead review"

1 night Arrived 14 Oct 2012
"This was our last night's stay in Namibia and was ideal.

The hospitality was excellent and the staff all very helpful. We didn't take part in any of the activities provided, but we did a couple of self guided walks, one of which had directions provided. Both walks were enjoyable and we saw quite a bit of game. It was a very restful place to stay and finish our trip. For us it was preferable than staying in Windhoek.

The food was excellent and tea and coffee is provided all day in the main reception area. The gardens are very pleasant. With a very large swimming pool." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Last night at Elegant Farmstead"

1 night Arrived 20 Sep 2012
"Elegant Farmstead was great for a stay near enough to Windhoek to make a lunchtime flight without getting up at the crack of dawn. It's a really nice place in its own right too, however. It's a fairly lengthy drive up a bumpy gravel road from the B1, but worth it.

The rooms were well-furnished and set in lovely gardens - but the bathrooms need a bit of upgrading and the shower was rather weak. There's a lovely pool, home-made cakes mid-afternoon, and very good food and wine. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable way to end our holiday after all the travelling."

"Elegant Farmstead, a tranquil oasis"

1 night Arrived 19 Sep 2012
"An excellent stop off on our way north, just 1.5 hours from Windhoek. This was the ideal place to rest after a long overnight flight from the UK.

We found it really homely, very peaceful and tranquil it was just what we needed. The rooms were comfortable, the food and service was excellent and the farmstead was set in beautiful surroundings.Definitely a place to remember.
We enjoyed a lovely game drive here too, it was wonderful.

Could perhaps benefit from a "buggy" to carry luggage to rooms, there was no help offered on this front!" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

1 night Arrived 6 Sep 2012
"Very helpful indeed particularly as we left a necklace which they went to great lengths to ensure we got it back.

Could fully recommend although the 27.5k road is a bit rough. Enjoyable walk in the area in lovely surroundings.
Food very enjoyable." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"Cosy campfire at Elegant"

1 night Arrived 12 May 2012
"We travelled here from Mushara via Tsumeb and Okahandja where there are craft shops / market to buy souvenirs from but apart from that we didn't find much else to see in the area.

Elegant is a handy location if you are wanting to relax before returning to Windhoek prior to flying home. The rooms are set in a lovely landscaped garden with an outside decking area and a pool. The food was of good quality especially the breakfast. It was great to to sit outside around a fire after dinner and chat to other travellers." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Elegant Farmstead review"

1 night Arrived 5 May 2012
"Arrived late from Etosha and left early for the airport, so we only spent a limited amount of time at the Farmstead.

The staff, grounds and food were great, but the rooms are a little outdated and the road to the Farmstead is a little rugged ... We passed 3 cars with flats, which is a bit of a worry on the way to airport! Would definitely recommend it for an overnight stay on the way to Etosha" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
