Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pool and gardens were immaculate and my family room was very clean and comfortable. On arrival the key would not open the door lock. It took 40 slow minutes to have it repaired and then he asked for a tip !! I wish there was a power point near the bed so I could have my phone charging while in use. The pool towels all need replacing and the sun lounges were covered in bird poop. The Sunset tour was fantastic. I felt that we were not given enough time on the full day Soussvlei tour to climb Big Daddy and then walk amongst the trees in Deadvlei. Just walking around the trees was rushed because they were in a hurry to leave for their picnic area. The tour guides were excellent.

A great company

My GoPro was lost there and they found it and then delivered it to Etosha Safari Lodge, another hotel of the same company, where we stayed a few days later. This tells a lot positively about this company. On this trip we only used Gondwana hotels and services. The company didn’t disappoint us. I highly recommend Gondwana.

Kaikin puolin mahtava paikka! Maisemat huikeat! Keihäsantilooppeja ja pahkasika oli joka päiväunien vieras. Lähipolut kannattaa käydä kävelemässä. Ravintolassa tarjoiltava ruoka tulisi suojata linnuilta. Joka ruokailussa pikkulinnut söi useista astioista. Liekö tästä aiheutunut kevyttä vatsa ongelmaa? Uima-allas vesi voisi olla pari astetta lämpimämpää…
