"Location was amazing overlooking a waterhole frequented by animals.
Staff were wonderful and food excellent.
We only stayed one night unfortunately however we did 3 nights at a sister lodge (outpost) and the quality was the same. "
"It's in a great location in Mariental, making it the ideal stopover if you're coming from Windhoek and then continuing south. Equipped with every comfort, the restaurant dinner and breakfast are excellent. Extraordinary location. Superb cleanliness, even the pool deserves a mention. Highly recommended."
"We arrived late due to car trouble and Namibian border trouble; Stephanie met us on the road after 10 pm and showed us the way in. Breakfast was wonderful, staff friendly and helpful."
"Die Lodge befindet sich in einer ruhigen Gegend und ist wunderschön gelegen.

Das Essen war super und das Frühstück auch.
Während des Aufenthaltes hat sich der Manager sehr aufmerksam um seine Gäste bemüht und war sehr interessiert an Gesprächen. Alles in allem eine super tolle Lodge mit klarer Empfehlung.
Weiterer Bonus, die Lodge befindet sich in unmittelbarer Entfernung zum...
"Wir haben eine Nacht in der Unterkunft verbracht, um am nächsten Tag von dort in den KTP zu fahren. Die Grenze zu Südafrika ist nur 15 km entfernt. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen und wohl gefühlt. Als Pärchen bekamen wir ein großzügiges Familienzimmer, welches sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet war. Das vorab gebuchte Dinner war das beste, was wir während unserer 16-tägigen Reise gegessen haben. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir würden dort jederzeit wieder übernachten und...

"Loved our 2 night stay in the Dune 2 chalet! Room was well appointed with an excellent view of a waterhole and the Khalahari desert - saw wildlife out the window everyday. Enjoyed the Night and Combo Game Drives with our outstanding guide, Gabriel - very knowledgeable and engaging with guests. Saw rhinos, giraffe, kudu, Hartebeest, eland, springbok, steenbok, maribou stork, oryx, zebra, and more. Outdoor dining area is set up as a Boma and nicely lit - dinners were very good!"
"We were there in February (Namibian summer) so it was hot in the tent during the day, and the huge water-filled cooling thingy (don't know what it's called) didn't help at all, if anything it made the tent hotter not to mention the noise it made. We decided to just open the windows and through in the warm breeze. It was better once the sun had gone down. Otherwise it was a great stay. Staff were nice and friendly and we enjoyed the sundowner game drive."
"Subtle, modest, room and facilities located in the beautiful valley between two red dunes. Very clean - room and the surrounding. Crispy white linen with a nice embroidered with two deer. We really relaxed the stay of two nights. The morning San walk was great and included in the room price. "
