"Ghaub Guest Farm review"

1 night Arrived 9 Oct 2014
"We only stayed here because Sabina thought we would otherwise have a very long drive. We were so glad we did, what a really delightfully place, we could have happily stayed 3 nights.

The rooms are large and very tastefully decorated in the old mission school rooms. Everything one could want was thought of the scenery and gardens are beautiful with a super pool and the gardens full of flowers and colourful trees. The manager who has been there 17 years is a real treasure, he was informative cheerful and helpful. The food was delicious and the wine good.

We were bowled over by the whole place. Fascinating history and great birds and walks. really would love to visit again." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Ghaub Guest Farm review"

2 nights Arrived 29 Aug 2013
"Superb accommodation. Peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. The farm trip we chose to do was good for the 1st half - very informative and interesting. Then the 2nd half was basically an extremely bumpy uncomfortable drive back and of no real interest.

We had 2 evening meals, one of which was excellent and the other was one of the worst meals we have ever had!!!!!!." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Ghaub Guest Farm review"

3 nights Arrived 9 Oct 2012
"We didn't stay in the farm but camped on one of the three pitches.

The facilities provided were good with the abultion block for each pitch providing two showers and two flush toilets with electricity. Kitchen facilities with concrete and stone table and a braai area. The table provided can really only be used as a work surface as it is too high to sit at. Each pitch is private with good views.

One of the guides at the farm took us down the cave on the farm which is a two and a half hour adventure going down a hundred meters. There was a lot of scrambling and climbing in muddy conditions so you need to be prepared for that. But it was a great experience. Not for the claustrophobic. An excellent base to explore the Otavi area." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Quiet location"

1 night Arrived 22 Sep 2012
"Mark went caving; he enjoyed it but it was incredibly hot and there was a shortage of oxygen!

Other than that it was a good place in which to relax. Currently, there is no horse riding so walking is about the only other option. Fine for an overnight stay, but no longer." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

1 night Arrived 22 Jan 2012
"The welcome here was wonderful, despite being the only guests, yet again. The rooms are really huge with a lovely view over the immaculate grounds.

The Manager is great, a real Namibian success story who joined us after dinner for really interesting conversations. Chris McIntyre please note: it is on the opposite side of the road from what you say in the Bradt guide." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

2 nights Arrived 6 Nov 2011
"A lovely traditional farm with friendly, knowledgable staff. The walks around the area were first class and even included bushman paintings.

The rooms had fridges and fans and a verandah overlooking the hills; bliss!

The trip to the caves is not to be missed." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
