We spent two nights at the hotel, one before going to and one after coming back from Etosha. Due to a very early flight, we arrived well before the checkin time and the staff stored our luggage and did their best to get us a room as quickly as possible. We were also able to buy breakfast on that day, which was excellent. The pool area would have been very nice, except it was simply too cold in the winter time. The lodge is conveniently located to the grove mall where we bought supplies for both our trips (though note the shops close at 7 and the supermarket at 8). We would recommend dinner at the mall over the hotel…the service was quite slow and the pizza cold. The rooms were excellent for the price, however, and you get free bottled water and above-average toiletries. It’s not a great location if you want to sight-see (though honestly, Windhoek isn’t great for sightseeing anyways). But if you need a nice place for a layover, this is probably the best lodge you could book. Thanks to the lovely staff!
