Beautiful lodge with friendly, helpful staff.

A lovely two night stay, which included a sunset drive and a full day out in the desert which was made very interesting, fun and pleasant by Enos, who was extremely knowledgeable about the environment. On both occasions, we had tables set with white cloths, chairs, good cutlery and crockery and we sat on comfortable chairs, all of which were set out on kilims. The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were comfortable and clean. The only thing that would prevent us from returning was the road from Swakopmund to the Lodge, which is no fault of the lodge. If you can, fly in!

Exceptional! I did a lot of research before deciding on Hoodia. This is near perfection. Wonderful staff, stunning location, excellent food, and stylish decor all pulled together thoughtfully. The customer service booking was also superb. While I booked via Expedia, I was also in touch directly. Other lodges were not helpful in answering questions. Stay at least two nights and add a third if you want some time to relax.

Tolle Lodge. Sehr abgelegen und daher sehr ruhig. Die 30km Zufahrt ist gut befahrbar und es hat sich gelohnt. Das Abendessen fand an einer langen Tafel mit allen Gästen und dem Besitzer statt. Das Essen war OK.

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt bei AAA-Gastgebern

Sehr schöne Lodge mit sehr gastfreundlichen Menschen. Das Essen war hervorrragend. Die Ausflüge waren bestens organisiert. Paulus und Clarina sind sehr gute Gastgeber. Lunch mitten im Sossuvlei, ein Sundowner zu zweit inmitten des Parks. Einfach herrlich.

A éviter absolument en hiver !

Sachez que les chambres ne sont pas chauffées et pire encore pas étanches, ni au vent, ni au sable. Ce qui signifie que comme les lits ne sont pas équipés de matelas chauffants ni de bouillottes comme cela se fait dans la plupart des lodges, vous devez essayer de dormir avec moins de 10 degrés dans la chambre et être prêts à ne pas pouvoir vous laver. Pire encore, si le vent souffle fort, ce qui ne semble pas aussi exceptionnel que le prétend le propriétaire, attendez vous à ce que votre lit soit envahi par le sable (cf photos), votre visage maculé, vos oreilles, votre nez et même votre bouche remplis de sable, et à tousser toute la nuit ! La cerise sur le gâteau, c’est que lors de notre départ personne n’a même pris la peine de s’excuser pour les conditions d’hébergement déplorables et le propriétaire était introuvable. Quand nous nous en sommes plaints auprès du propriétaire à notre retour en France, le sourire d’accueil a disparu, laissant place à un mépris condescendant et même des insultes dans un email qui a suivi, dans lequel il nous a qualifiés de « mesquins et égoïstes » !!! Le propriétaire s’en remet à Dieu pour les circonstances climatiques, pourquoi pas, mais il appartient bien au propriétaire d’un lieu d’assurer que ses clients bénéficieront des conditions d'hébergement qu’il leur a vendues, donc, a minima une chambre chauffée et isolée, et de les dédommager dans le cas contraire. 1200 € pour 2 nuits dans le froid et le sable, ce n'est vraiment pas acceptable !
