"Central Lodge review"
1 night Arrived 13 May 2012
"Young but inexperienced restaurant and bar staff, but they tried very hard to help. That said the rooms were spacious and very clean. We had a nice few hours after our arrival sitting in the garden area which was quiet and peaceful.
The manager was very helpful when we had to get a small repair done to our vehicle and directed us to a garage / workshop in town that could help us. He even phoned ahead to let them know we were coming, which was nice." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Stopover at Central Lodge"
1 night Arrived 17 Dec 2011
"This was designed as a stop to break up a very long drive and it served its purpose. The rooms are tired and the A/C didn't work.
The pool area appeared very inviting for families." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Central Lodge review"
1 night Arrived 18 Oct 2011
"We chose Central Lodge as a place to stay overnight to break the journey from Windhoek to Fish River Canyon. It served this purpose well and is also conveniently located for visiting the local attractions: Giant's Playground and Quiver Tree Forest. We were also able to join the cheetah feeding at 5pm at Gariganus Farm, where you buy your tickets for the Quiver Tree Forest.
We had dinner at Central Lodge in the evening and the meal was fine. Breakfast was another matter. We arrived at about 8am to find that other hotel guests had eaten all bread on the buffet and it was virtually impossible to get anything to eat! My repeated requests for toast were fruitless, whilst I saw toast being taken to several other tables!
This would be an excellent place to stay towards the end of a journey, as by the time we left I was wishing that I was back at home!" See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
