Travel reviews by Mrs V from UK

"The bestfood of any lodge we stayed at and you can choose your own time to eat - a big plus.

Guides excellent. Manager very helpful"

"Guiding was superb."

"Massive barbeque in 39 degrees insane. It was hot enough already!"

"Staff very good - not too servile.

Buffet for breakfast and dinner - very good."

"No game drives available as car in for service. Wouldn't happen in the private sector.

Lengthy power cuts. Inter-room phones out of order.

Food dire (although 'light lunch' was fine)"

"The two of us have mixed views. I loved it, my wife was a little less enthusiastic.

Location out of this world. Superb.

Chef needs changing - or 'drying out'

All seems a little haphazard"

"Surprisingly the food was superb. The chef was a wonder.

Staff are all trying their utmost in the most out of the way location imaginable.

We loved it - for one night!"

"Significantly under-rated. Great hotel which wouldn't be out of place in a smart resort on the Med.

Better to book B&B as accessing the a la carte menu when on DBB takes some discussion.

The a la carte is great.

Nearby seal colony passes a good half-hour, but when you've seen the first 500 you've seen enough."

"Very efficient and friendly.

Laundry service to be recommended.

Eat at 'The Tug'"

"Staff good.

Michael the guide was the best of our trip. Really good chap.

Rooms are getting a little tired."

"Over-rated. Food OK, rooms OK, location good - but that goes for many places in Namibia. Service too intense. Don't bother with the 'sundowner'

The two San guides on the morning walk with the bushmen were both really good.

Tents a bit 'slack' which does not help sleep.

The fixed dinner at 2000hrs was not. By the time everyone arrived and we sat through a comic introduction to the chef it was easily after 2100hrs. Too late.

Wouldn't recommend or return"

"Really good to have our own BBQ

Accommodation exceptional. Very tasteful and well built.

Access to the end two chalets is narrow - I scraped the car, but it was my fault."

"Oddly this was the only place which seemed like a resort rather than a lodge.

Canned cheetahs unnecessary.

Power was on and off constantly."

"Very helpful and accommodating staff. An unusual and attractive place - very peaceful and well run."
