Desert Homestead Lodge

Wilderness
Sossusvlei, Namibia

Desert Homestead Lodge lies in a wide grassy valley, sheltered by the Nubib, Tsaris and Naukluft mountains, and with views reaching the distant dunes of the Namib Desert in the west.

It offers simple but comfortable accommodation in thatched chalets. All 26 are en suite and are decorated with white walls and dark wood riempie furniture. Each cottage has its own veranda with northern views extending to the Rotterkaum Mountains. Seven of the cottages are family suites, whilst there is also the two-bedroom Reiterhaus – perfect for families with teenage children.

Why we like Desert Homestead Lodge

The tranquil surroundings, alfresco dining and stunning sunsets make Desert Homestead Lodge a place to remember. The spectacular desert landscape means a sundowner drive here particularly special, culminating with drinks and snacks to accompany the beautiful sunset.

Facilities

Desert Homestead is well equipped for the isolated location, with a comfortable bar and restaurant, as well as an outdoor pool with attached sun deck. Wi-Fi is available in the restaurant, but not elsewhere. Rooms have air conditioning for the hotter summer months.
