"Gochegansa Lodge & Spa"
Gocheganas is beautifully located on a hilltop with panoramic views. You park your car partway and are taken to the lodge by their own vehicle. I would imagine that if you lived locally to Windhoek this is a very nice option for a weekend away.
Rooms and bathrooms are very spacious with the usual amenities, plus a television and a fridge. Wi-fi in our room was sporadic but useable in the communal areas. The outside room deck area was large and we were able to sit and watch giraffe wandering by in the distance. We did not take any game drives as this was at the end of our Namibia trip and we were happy to simply relax.
There was a great bar area with stunning views and the dining room was also nicely appointed. The food and wine selection was good, however the service was sporadic and rather indifferent.
Spa was good and the indoor warm pool especially tempting given that the outdoor one was too cold, but on a warmer day would be lovely to rest around with great views. Spa treatments are also given in individual treatment rooms and we enjoyed massages which were inexpensive compared to Europe and good quality.
This was a nice option for us, but on reflection we personally were glad to stay only one night and move closer to the City for our last evening." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
"A luxurious stay so close to the airport."
The food was good but the service was the worst we had experienced in the entire trip with waiting staff having a very different, aloof attitude to guests that we had not encountered before. This was the only negative point.
The massage therapy was inexpensive (compared with UK prices) and of a very high and professional standard.
This must be a wonderful place to spend a long weekend if you live locally or in S Africa itself." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Lovely last stay"
Facilities include a large swimming pool on a lawn with a view over a large area of bush and more distant mountain. The bush is a well-stocked game conservancy and our binoculars therefore got more use than the Kindles!
We did go on an excellent sun-downer drive with a number of other guests, and whilst the conservancy is somewhat managed, the variety of wildlife is impressive - we saw game here that we had seen nowhere else on this trip.
Food at the resort was excellent, and the dining facilities offered both indoor and outdoor seating.
Only an hour's drive from the airport, this was a great place to end our trip" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana
"The perfect end to the holiday"
The food is good but the place has a slightly corporate feel so I wouldn't recommend staying any longer than 1 night when there are so many other beautiful lodges to stay at." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Gocheganas Lodge & Spa review"
"Excellent lodge, great accommodation & staff"
The food was great and the staff were very friendly - it was a lovely place to introduce ourselves to Namibia. We went on one of their safaris and saw Giraffe drinking and a couple of Rhino before sundowners watching Giraffe.
The swimming pool was great, although kids are only allowed to use the outdoor pool, which wasn't really any hardship." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"A wonderful first night stop"
Fantastic views, lovely chalet and excellent bar and restaurant area. From our chalet balcony we saw Giraffe, Buffalo, Ostrich, Springbok.
Definitely should have stayed more than one night." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Super"
"Unexpected peace 30km south of Windhoek"
We did and saw warthogs, wildebeeste, giraffe, eland, meerkats, a fish eagle, zebra, harfebeest, kori bustard and moorhens. The driver was quite apologetic that we failed to find the rhino! We stayed only one night but two would have been better. There is a very smart swimming pool, massages available or you could just sit on your balcony and look out over the umpteen hectares of greenery, trying to spot the giraffes!"
