A nice lodge, with a beautiful view

A nice lodge, composed of cottages in the middle of nature, with two beautiful swimming pools and also a restaurant open air. We recommend it, it's close to Windhoek and also practical if you arrive or depart from Hosea Kutako Airport

The view from this property, the nice rooms with the patios to enjoy the view and peace, the amazing food and wonderful staff as well as beautiful overall facility and pool area are some of the main factors I liked this hotel so much. The homemade bread is a total winner and the dinner was absolutely deliciously the service impeccable and set the tone for our trip.

Perfect relaxation destination

I stayed at the River Crossing Lodge for a few days at the end of a two week trip. The rooms are very comfortable with gorgeous views of the surrounding hills. I spent most of the time relaxing on the porch of my chalet or the porch of the main lodge. I had the full board package and thoroughly enjoyed my meals. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again.

Great place. Service was a very basic. The WiFi was terrible. The good good but little option for dinner, and given the location it is impossible to go to other places.

This is a unique place to stay and enjoy the true Namibian experience. The servers are quite attentive and friendly. The breakfast buffet is satisfying. Having an evening meal outside and looking the lights of Windhoek is a must thing.

Dåligt.

Inget hotell jag rekommenderar. Inte värt pengarna. Inget varmvatten i duschen, dålig frukost, inga möbler på uteplatsen, rummet känns som att man bor i en källare.
