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.
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.
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.
The lodge is positioned 30 kilometres to the south of Sesriem, the entrance to the Namib-Naukluft National Park, meaning it is well placed for visits to Sossusvlei. It is also just over 300 kilometres from Windhoek.
Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.
Cradled against ancient mountains Sossusvlei Desert Lodge overlooks awe-inspiring dunes and stony outcrops – an unspoiled wilderness of vast spaces, endless horizons and rugged mountains. The Lodge offers luxurious accommodation in 10 free-standing glass and stone villas sympathetically built to the environment and designed to capture the splendour and solitude of the desert with absolute privacy.
Boulders Camp is part of the Wolwedans Collection. Boulders Camp is situated two hours south of the other Wolwedans lodges, deep in the heart of the private NamibRand nature reserve protected by massive granite rocks. This is certain to appeal to those looking for the ultimate desert escape, very far away from tourist crowds and busy lodges. With just four spacious rooms sited around the base of a boulder-strewn mountain, Boulders is private and exclusive.
Situated on the banks of the Tsauchab River, Hoodia Desert Lodge is an easy distance from the entrance to Sossusvlei and is an ideal location to visit Sesriem Canyon and the Namib Naukluft Park. This warm and inviting lodge has a relaxing feel and facilities include a main lounge, restaurant serving international and traditional cuisine, a swimming pool set in a raised deck and sculpted into natural rock and an outside terrace overlooking the Tsauchab River. There are 12 tented bungalows set in front of a beautiful mountain backdrop, each with indoor and outdoor bathrooms and views of the river or plains and mountains.
Little Kulala is situated on a large private reserve, bordering the Namib Naukluft Park, in the heart of the Namib. The camp offers magnificent views of the famous red dunes of Sossusvlei, mountainous scenery and vast open plains. Little Kulala has eight thatched and canvas chalets, each built on a wooden platform to provide maximum airflow. A popular option with outdoor enthusiasts is to sleep under the stars – mattresses are placed on private stargazing platform on top of each room.
