"Wine, woofs and waves at Sam's!"

2 nights Arrived 2 Aug 2007
"The decor in our room was a little ordinary compared to the other places we stayed in but the room was spacious and clean.

Sam was a very interesting host and again we loved the dogs. The lady on reception was also very helpful and had booked a boat trip for us within minutes of the request. We throroughly enjoyed Sam's wine-tasting session - learned a huge amount - and followed by the five course meal this made for a very contrasting evening from the rest of the holiday.

The Walvis Bay boat trip was fantastic!" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"An interesting place which we enjoyed"

2 nights Arrived 20 Jul 2007
"We thought that this place had a querky feel to it but Sam was very welcoming and friendly. Our room was comfortable.

We ate at the Tug the first night which we thought was brilliant and the fish was very welcome after a lot of meat meals!

The second night after sundowners at The Tug, we were the sole diners at Sam's and on reflection should have perhaps gone out in town again." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana
