A great place to stay near Windhoek

A perfect place to stay after a long overnight flight. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were comfortable and quiet. Restaurant meals were lovely - tasty and very well cooked. We had an excellent night's sleep and were sorry that our plans meant that we could not stay longer.

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. Recommend staying here and will be staying here again on my next visit.

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.

The lodge was great and the staff was excellent! My room was superb and spacious, and I had a great view! The restaurant had plenty of delicious options and the menu always varied. The shuttle allowed me to make my appointments or errands in the city and made airport pickup super easy! The staff always went above and beyond! I had the best stay here and I'll definitely be staying here for all my trips to Namibia! I highly recommend this lodge!

Manager is absolutely wonderful. Gosh I wish I could recall her by name! The whole place is welcoming, from the reception, to restaurant staff, to bar staff, to room hospitality. Rooms are large and comfortable. The view is reason enough to visit, but go for the food. The food is incredible. I would be very happy just to live there! We were there as a herping group, and were treated like royalty, despite our dirty clothing from hiking and our over indulgence in delicious Rock Shandys. When my airport transfer didn't show up the manager was there to help. Awesome place to stay!
