"Rostock Ritz review"

1 night Arrived 27 May 2009
"RR was a nice stopping off point between the dunes and further north. I'm not sure there's enough there in itself to attract people, but as I say, a good spot if it's on your way.

The rooms were a little bit smaller than we'd had elsewhere, but still well equiped.

There's great views from all rooms, restaurant, pool area etc. over the area, and the resident zebra is cute. Don't get too close to the meerkats though, we stopped to take a photo and they all came out and chased up away!

The food was all very nice." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Rostock Ritz review"

1 night Arrived 9 May 2009
"Very friendly reception, good food and plenty of information on walks around the property.

This room was a little dingy, we felt due the colour of paint used, but we admired the architecture.

Great views from the room and terrace. Food and drink very reasonably priced.

We enjoyed a very nice un-guided 2.5km walk across the plains." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia

"Rostock Ritz review"

1 night Arrived 24 Jun 2008
"A beautiful location, with some good local walking. The 'igloo' design is somewhat eccentric, though full of character. I found the rooms rather dark, shutting out the beauty of the setting - but cool in summer I daresay.

Dinner was excellent but charged extra. They were quite busy. The pet zebra and tame meerkats were a hit with my grandson. The pool and poolside ara were attractive - but too cold in late June." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
