Spitzkoppen Lodge

One of the most beautiful lodge I stayed in my trips in Namibia. Our chalet was very nice with a lovely view on the mountains. Landscape is stunning. The chalets are set close to the strange rocks around. Restaurant is very good, we had all meals there, it is fine dining style. Staff is very kind, it was a pleasure to talk to the ladies at restaurant. We had the complimentary drive for 2-night stayers and enjoyed it very much thanks to our guide Petrus. It was a very good choice to spend there 2 nights so we could have the lodge drive, self-drive and a walk.

This is a simply wonderful hotel. It is miles from anywhere and very peaceful. Accommodation is very comfortable and well serviced given the logistics of the location. Meals were very nice, but not high cuisine, and staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Rooms aren’t air conditioned but, given the cool desert nights this wasn’t a problem. A variety of on site activities are provided and we very much enjoyed the 2 hour evening drive/walk which took in a number of sights either on, or adjacent to, the lodge grounds. They also have a number of animals on site, including a small group of zebra. Sitting close to the pool and restaurant whilst watching the sunset was a perfect way to end the day.

Situated on the side of a granite outcrop the location of the lodge is unsurpassed. The chalets are scattered at the base of the outcrops, towards the rising sun, pretty isolated from each other and a fair walk to the dinning and reception area which has a fabulous outlook to the west and the setting sun. The chalets have hard walls and a canvas roof and air flow negates the need for air conditioning. The beds are comfortable and we slept well with no noise whatsoever but the chalet does move a bit when walking around. The meals were included and excellent and the staff so friendly and helpful. Plenty of area to explore in your own vehicle. Loved our stay and highly recommend to anyone else.

Wow! What a stunning location! The chalets were nicely appointed and we sure appreciated that they had a big fan. Awesome charging facilities and great deck facing West to the sunset. The pool is stunning.. Set into the rock (we liked to call it the Human Watering Hole). Lovely staff and food. While we enjoyed the sundowner game drive, it felt like the Guides were less than helpful for those who were slower walkers or couldn't spot the wildlife right away. Still enjoyed our stay and the golf cart rides over the hill. Would highly recommend.

The drive into the lodge is wonderful as is its location, the scenery is stunning. The lodge though is not so good. Our welcome was dreadful, by a local man only interested in selling tours and explaining how the tipping should work, this his primary concern and it was very irritating. The tours themselves were scribbled on a blackboard like some third rate pub signage. I think all the cabins are the same, somewhere between a tent, a mobile home and a cabin. They are perfectly ok but definitely not luxurious. Caravanning really. The main lodge is weary, not very comfortable and the food the worst we have had on our 3 week trip. I doubt there is much choice in the area and this lodge is ok, but don't get your expectations too high.

This lodge is beautifully nestled in the Spitzkoppen mountains, and is a slightly otherworldly setting - one of the coolest places we stayed in Namibia, and the staff were all lovely. The rooms were very stylish and comfortable, with lovely bathrooms and balconies, a fridge, a safe, some welcome snacks and just about everything you’d need. Only downside is that it was one of the only places we stayed where there is no air con. This is understandable given the remote location but it might have been good to have a better fan in the room as it was very hot and the one they had didn’t really cut it. The windows do have good insect screens so you can keep the windows open, it was just too windy for that when we were there. The restaurant, bar and pool have excellent sunset views, while the rooms have beautiful sunrise views. We did the small bushman rock art tour which was enjoyable and the sunset drinks afterwards were a real highlight. We’d definitely recommend this lodge.
