Namibia
Damaraland
The lodge's organic design earned it an architectural eco-design award, and the interior decor blends elegance, earth tones and tranquillity. Be careful not to lose yourself in the surrounding panoramas!
Beyond reception lies a rustic yet modern dining room where all three daily meals are served. There is also a lounge area for after-dinner conversation. Outside, a short climb leads to a rocky platform where sundowners are served - the ideal spot to watch the sun disappear behind the distant mountains.
There is also a small pool to cool off in.
The overall design is organic and in harmony with its surroundings, with pleasing colours and textures that create a sense of comfort.
About ten rooms are tucked away among the rocks.
There is also a small curio shop.
Tucked among the rocks, 13 en-suite rooms, all with views over the valley or the hills, and two luxury suites with both indoor and open-air bathrooms.
All rooms are covered in thatch and canvas, with uninterrupted views from every corner — the bed, the terrace or, of course, the striking open-air bathtub and shower. The beds are vast and the living area is beautifully furnished with African accents.
5 Standard View Rooms:
Twin rooms (convertible to a King bed), with thatched roofs and private bathrooms.
They face east or north-east and offer a more limited view over a valley scattered with rocks.
3 View Rooms:
Identical to the Standard View Rooms but facing north, with a lovely view over the valley.
4 Superior View Rooms:
Identical to the Standard View Rooms but facing west, with panoramic views into the distance.
1 Luxury Room:
Set behind large boulders, this west-facing room features a thatched roof, partially canvas walls, an air-conditioned bedroom with a king-size bed, a private bathroom, and a private terrace with an infinity pool overlooking the valley. Wi-Fi and private dining are available in the room or on the terrace. Located close to the main area, this room is ideal for guests with reduced mobility.
1 Mini Suite:
A true hideaway nestled among the rocks, this exclusive thatched mini-suite has its own heated pool. The living area features satellite television and a stocked minibar, leading through to an air-conditioned bedroom with a king-size bed and an attached open-air bathroom.
Limited Wi-Fi, a stocked minibar, and private dining are available in the suite or on the terraces nestled among the rocks.
Laundry service is included for stays of 2 nights or more.
1 Mountain Suite:
An exclusive, private thatched suite with spectacular, all-encompassing views. The living area features satellite television and a sound bar before opening onto an outdoor terrace. Next to the living area is a bedroom fitted with a king-size bed, air conditioning, a separate bathroom, and another outdoor terrace with an infinity pool.
Admire the scenery on the way to Twyfelfontein, a rich rock art gallery that is Namibia's first World Heritage Site, and the Organ Pipes, a nearby rock formation.
Safaris allow you to see animals that have adapted to live in this extraordinary region of extreme temperatures and very scarce rainfall.
When you spot them - elephant, springbok, gemsbok, jackal and others - picture the trials of their existence.
Desert elephants can travel 60km in a single night, so sightings are not guaranteed. If luck is on your side, you may get close enough to see these desert-adapted giants.
Safaris with local guides, who explain the region's people, geology, botany and wildlife, are not to be missed.
