Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs P from Hook

"Good location in centre of town. Accommodation clean and well presented.

Food options very good and enjoyed the separate cafe facility."

"Location perfect for visiting Fish River Canyon.

Excellent facilities in a beautiful setting. Enjoyed the wildlife roaming free in the grounds.

Food options were good, well presented by friendly staff."

"Overall a good modern style hotel with usual facilities.

Food plenty of choice, although restaurant was very busy on our second night due to some outside tour groups using it for the food only. Although we had booked a table as had others staying at hotel, it was extremely chaotic with some staff becoming quite agitated.

They had over booked and had to make alternative arrangements for some."

"Fortunately we only spent one night here and that was one too many.

Staff were generally quite rude, the room was very basic, with a small very uncomfortable double bed. The food was poor with no choice. The pool area was quite dirty, the sun beds were stained and there was a dead rodent floating in the pool.

Generally a very unpleasant experience."

"Spectacular location, attentive staff, excellent facilities, great food.

Very relaxing."

"Quiet location near to the centre of Swakopmund.

Very warm welcome from manager who provided lots of useful information on area.

Enjoyable stay."

"This lodge was set on top of a rocky outcrop which gave for the prefect setting with beautiful sunsets. Staff could not be more friendly.

The game drives were extremely informative."

"This lodge is government run and therefore the overall standards do not compare with the private lodges we had previously stayed in. Nevertheless we found it to be of a good standard overall.

However, the game viewing was exceptional. We did our own game viewing during the day, but the main attraction of this lodge, apart from location within Etosha, is the water hole. The two nights spent here, we saw numerous rhino and elephants and many other mammals. The water hole is very close to the camp so is easily accessible for all, with plenty of seating."

"Very similar to the Okaukuejo camp in most respects.

However, the water hole was less accessible with a walk uphill on an uneven stone path, which some people found quite difficult in the dark. Also very little seating provision which meant standing for long periods of time."

"This was by far the most luxurious of the lodges we stayed during our 3 week trip and certainly lived up to expectations.

The accommodation, staff and food were outstanding.

The Afri-Cat experience was incredible and our guide for the 2 days was interesting, informative and personable which made it very special."
