Read moreAlthough this lodge is 100km away from Etosha (about an hour) it was still a great place to stay. The staff here were just lovely, friendly and helpful - especially after we discovered a large spider in our room. We were able to park very close to our lodge which meant it was easy to load up with cameras etc for our game drives in Etosha. On our first night there weren't many visitors and got to order from the main menu - I had an amazing pizza. For the following few nights a coach party of German people had booked in and the meals on the following nights were both buffet style meals that featured German food - not too much of an issue though as we managed to find something each mealtime that we liked. The take away breakfast option was great an allowed us to make an early start visiting Etosha. One evening we had a visit for a local group of singers that were excellent, although we wish we'd have known in advance as we didn't have a lot of money on us to give them a fair tip.||I found the lights throughout amusing - they looked like the ghosts from PacMan.||Service was a little a slow at times, especially when ordering drinks which had to be brought up from the bar area to the restaurant. This seemed to be an issue with the limited number of staff trying to accommodate such a large coach party as well as...

There was a client that was sitting there saying "you can't complain about service if there isn't any"- instant red flag
Unfortunately the room was not cleaned, there was stains all over the bedsheets , the towels were wet and smelled used and definitely not cleaned, also the room had a strong toilet detergent smell, the air con was ridiculous as was the tv(people with bad sight would not be able to see a thing) Now with the bar and restaurant I had ordered a juice with a glass the glass was so dirty I decided to drink straight out of the bottle with a straw, the food took at least 2 hours to arrive at our table and it was a simple pizza and when it arrived the cutlery was all stained and dirty and we definitely did not want to eat the food. The place has great potential but unfortunately not ran and not enough effort put into it. This was at the lodges note I do not know how...
