Vingerklip Lodge

We stayed for one night in the Honeymoon Suite. Upon arrival we received a warm welcome at the reception and enjoyed a light lunch in the restaurant. Whilst waiting for checking (we arrived quite early) we went for a walk around the premises and a drive around the fenced off Vingerklip Area. Walking around the lodge I already noticed some areas are due for maintenance and a lot of empty glades were left at the pool area. Since we stayed in the honeymoon suite up on the mountain our luggage was dropped up to the suite for us in a lift whilst we were guided up the staircase by an employee. The fact our luggage had to be dropped up seemed to be rather an inconvenience. The honeymoon suite itself did not match the images online. It looked like a small refurbishment was done so the furniture itself looked nice however the overall suite wasn’t nicely renovated or clean, it rather looked in need of some fixing up. The private pool from the images did not exist anymore. It used to be a pool where you can go from the inside the suite part of the pool outside. This is now filled with stones. We had dinner up in the Eagles Nest. The outside terrance such as wooden planks are trip hazards in some places and also overdue some renewing and fixing. The food was very nice, we felt rushed through dinner tho as it closed straight after dinner. I guess to get guests down safely after food and drinks down the staircase. I would have been great to know about this in advance. The views from the Eagles Nest were stunning. Based on the overall experience I would consider to come back for the views and dinner experience however would not recommend the honeymoon suite experience as it’s absolutely not worth the money.

This Lodge and location is stunning! So many areas to sit, relax and enjoy the views. Lovely pools and lounging areas, with shade. Great walks around the farm- to the Vingerklip and within the bush. Waterholes provide good sightings of baboon, springbok, giraffe and other mammals. Lovely room with great terrace. Food was fabulous, both at the Lodge and at the Eagle's Nest restaurant atop the adjacent rock formation. If you can go up there for sundown and dinner- it's a treat.

One of the most beautiful lodge I stayed in my trips to Namibia. I would have stayed two nights instead of one! Our chalet was very nice and had a balcony with a lovely view. The chalets are scattered on a small hill that is covered by beautiful succulent plants. Food is good, we enjoyed both dinner and breakfast. Dinner was a lekker buffet with a choice of game meat and vegetables. Staff is very kind. Location is very good, landscape is fantastic, the view is stunning on every side and you can walk to the Vingerklip in 30 minutes. I enjoyed a lot the sunset from the “Eagle’s Nest” terrace bar. To improve: there isn’t a fridge in the room, it could be useful even in winter, since it was quite hot when I was there in August, I think it is fundamental in summer.
