Pelican Point Lodge — Hotel in Erongo Region

We stayed two days at Pelikan Point Lodge and our experience was definitely not positive.|On the bright side : a) the location is indeed special. Remote, wild and overall fascinating although somewhat spoilt on one side of the bay by the constant and uninspiring passing and stationing of huge oil and commercial vessels; b) friendliness and nice attitude of the manager and staff; c) good quality and nice presentation of the food; d) the kayak trip among the seals offered by the lidge which was really awesome.|On the negative front were a) the rooms (we got two, the seal and the dolphin) which are unwelcoming, badly maintained and extremely basic. They are made in cement and bricks with no hardwood floor and tiles, mediocre furniture and no attention at all to design and comfort.|In particular what was unacceptable to us was :b) the open toilets (very bad idea!) c) the absence of supply of electricity for extended parts of the day and during the night; d) the smell of sewer in the dolphin room; e) the absence of a heating and air conditioning system. We were there in Winter and in the evening it was freezing cold and we felt extremely uncomfortable and eventually all the three of us caught a cold. The seal room has a very primitive heating system (which was provided upon our request also in the dolphin room) with inflammable liquid lit by the staff which is however totally ineffective. Moreover it doesn’t last long and leaves behind a bad smell of kerosene. This huge inconvenience is clearly seasonal but we assume that an opposite problem may occur in Summer with high temperatures.|Moreover quite disappointing were f) the wifi system which is extremely slow and doesn’t allow any decent internet connection; g) the hot water supply which is very limited and doesn’t two...

Staying at the Pelican Point Lodge is a once in a lifetime experience (except we hope to return)! ||Important Note: The hotel is under new ownership as of April or May 2025. Any reviews you read before that time should be disregarded. The new owner (who we got to meet) has big plans to continue to improve the lodge and has already made a lot of upgrades. This is a beautiful, luxury lodge.||This amazing, secluded lodge sits at the end of Pelican Point, with the Atlantic Ocean and 1000's of seals on one side and the Walvis Bay Lagoon on the other side. The boutique lodge only has 10 rooms on three levels with the top level being the penthouse with a 360 degree view of the Point. ||Every design detail reflects understated luxury, perfectly complementing — not competing with — the stark, stunning beauty of Pelican Point.||Our stay included breakfast, lunch and dinner. I don't know if that's always the case, but it should be, there's no where else around! And the food was fantastic. Fresh, locally sourced and beautifully prepared and served.||A half-day excursion to Sandwich Harbour is an absolute must when staying at Pelican Point Lodge — it’s one of the few places on Earth where the desert meets the sea in such breathtaking fashion. The lodge can recommend their preferred tour company to pick you up and take you to this magical area.||Pelican Point Lodge is a place you will never forget — a rare sanctuary where the wild beauty of Namibia truly takes...
