"Lodge was nice as all Gondwana Lodges. Rooms are nicely decorated and clean. Staff is really friendly and food is delicious. However, there are some points that we did not like: the AC is directly pointed towards the bed. We need to turn it off as otherwise we might get sick. they should place it somewhere else in the room.
Second point: tables for dinner and breakfast are only prepared inside. But all guests want to sit outside. At breakfast there weren‘t enough prepared tables so I didn’t had...

"Amazing privacy & great for stargazing (less light pollution - close to zero - than around the lodge). We had everything we needed in term of facilities. The only slight negative was the staff - when we asked for some info (e.g. the walking trails on the property), they didn't really make an effort to explain things well."

"We would recommend a dune chalet rather than a chalet, the view from the terrace is next level. The "naturdrive and sunset" is fantastic, if you're lucky you will meet Bruno & Grace, a friendly White rhino couple. Dinner and breakfast are a 10 out of 10. "

"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. "

"Siamo molto soddisfatti del lodge. Di seguito i dettagli:
- Personale: molto cordiale e disponibile, soprattutto Antonio
- Camera: molto confortevole e spaziosa, vista bellissima. Le tende sono isolate l’una dall’altra e garantiscono privacy
- Bagno: staccato dalla camera, ma ciò non ha costituito un problema, pulito e spazioso. Ovviamente non faceva caldo, ma questo è perché siamo in inverno
- Cena: ottima, mangiato salmone cucinato molto bene e delizioso
- Colazione: molto ricca, in più...

"We had a friendly welcome to the hotel. The owners took time to chat, which has not been the norm. It is very secure with inside parking. Car washing was offered. We didnt get the triple room that we had booked, but the room offered had a huge double bed in a spacious room that was sufficient for our needs. The bathroom was large with a bath and shower. Separate toiletries would have been useful. It was all clean and tidy with good linens. The outside porch was a nice place to sit. Breakfast had some variety and was taken in a pleasant dining room. The hotel itself is a great place to stay for a day or two, but dining options are restricted to fast food and a mediocre restaurant."
"Relatively small rooms, but appointed so beautifully. The resort is attractive and although the reserve is relatively small (<20,000 hectares) compared to Okonjima,it’s significantly more affordable. Highly recommend doing the evening sundowner ride (extra charge, but worth it)"
