"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. "
"Wonderful location on margins of Kalahari desert. Make use of hiking trails of partner lodge 8km away, where we saw giraffes and other animals. Tented lodge accommodation wonderful, but it did get extremely cold at 3 degrees during the night, so minimally ask for an extra blanket depending on the weather forecast.

"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."

"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. "
