"River Crossing review"
"Perfect for arrivals and departures "
"See previous"
"Good Stop Over"
Food and dining staff excellent. Other staff what you'd expect from a conference venue.
A really good choice for a 1 night in or out of Windhoek as you don't have to go into town.
Pool is in the middle of the dining area so not very private." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 12n in South Africa

There were also no activities available for us to book to occupy our time. However, hospitality was very good.
The dinner was delicious. The sunset was very pretty. I'm glad we only stayed one night, though." See all these reviews: 3n in Namibia
