Great views from the terrace. But not in town so a second stay in town recommended. Good standard of service.

Great place to end our amazing holiday. Loved the ambience of the hotel and being served breakfast with white gloves and silver domes covering our food.

special accomodation, perfect service and staff. but I found the context a little `strange` in the namibian panorama. Now, I can say that I`ll have preferred an accomodation in the nature for a last game drive!

Superb Hotel, a little bit 'snooty' (upper crust), rooms, food and service were 5 star. There were some water problems - complete loss of water the first night, a leaking (crack) bath tub (room 14) causing water all over the floor, on the return night.

Hotel was beautiful and the room was excellent. Lovely surroundings and grounds -- enjoyed the pool. The restaurant service and food was, however, definitely not up to standards. Dinner was not very good and was expensive, and service was lacking. Breakfast was fine.
