"Dead Valley Lodge - Thank You !"

3 nights Arrived 15 Oct 2019
"Our accommodations were changed to Dead Valley Lodge, and we are SO thankful. A rainstorm, and a sandstorm, and constant wind made us appreciate beyond words that we were not in the campsite. We enjoyed the Lodge, and altho they were plagued by difficult and growing pains related to the sand in plugs, and wind and sand invading dinner service, they did well to accommodate us. The chef and wait staff were friendly and very helpful, the Manager was great, and we enjoyed our stay. Perfect location to head to the Dunes and to Deadvlei and we took advantage as much as we could.

A couple of observations for improvement. A breakfast box for our non dairy guest was without the yogurt , but then had cheese on the sandwich. Our daily water supply was hit & miss, and although there were two of us in the room, we got the same water as the guests who were singles. We were unable to get hot water in our shower, but survived with luke warm, thankful not to be in the campground.

Any requests we made were felt with promptly and overall we appreciated the Lodge very much." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
