Cosy campfire at Elegant
We travelled here from Mushara via Tsumeb and Okahandja where there are craft shops / market to buy souvenirs from but apart from that we didn't find much else to see in the area.
Elegant is a handy location if you are wanting to relax before returning to Windhoek prior to flying home. The rooms are set in a lovely landscaped garden with an outside decking area and a pool. The food was of good quality especially the breakfast. It was great to to sit outside around a fire after dinner and chat to other travellers.
Elegant Farmstead review
Arrived late from Etosha and left early for the airport, so we only spent a limited amount of time at the Farmstead.
The staff, grounds and food were great, but the rooms are a little outdated and the road to the Farmstead is a little rugged ... We passed 3 cars with flats, which is a bit of a worry on the way to airport! Would definitely recommend it for an overnight stay on the way to Etosha
A very pleasant surprise
We were met by a charming young woman already out on the parking area.
A welcoming place, we were shown around immediately on arrival.
The room was really great but not too spacious. The bed had mosquito net. The bathroom very good!
And on top of everything a gorgeous staff. They all made our short visit very comfortable. Please remember to tip well if you are as pleased as we were. Food better than excellent.
Elegant Farmstead review
This was our last lodge and is mainly used as a last stopover or the first! What a pleasant surprise! It is very well run and has a lovely modern feel to it, without losing the charm of the old farmstead. It was not busy when we were there but we received excellent service and even got to meet the owner who was just dashing back to Windhoek and his other lodge there.
The pool area was lovely and we enjoyed a pleasant drink at the bar in the evening with some locals who had popped in for a beer or two! Dinner was served on the wooden deck which was a lovely idea but a bit cool for us and rather dark but the food more than made up for dark and chill of the night. The stars that night were magnificent and a joy to look at!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and congrsatulate the owners on a very nice lodge.
Elegant Farmstead review
At last we had other people to talk to at dinner. Everything here was very good and it made for an easy drive the final day to the airport.

Excellent first night location. It would be easier and quicker to stay near the main road but we preferred the location deep in the Namibian bush.
The staff here we very helpful and keen to please.
The Elegant Farmstead review
We stayed here en route to Swakopmund because we didn't want to stay overnight in Windhoek.
It was a longer journey then we expected due to the gravel road and we did go slightly out of our way. But it was a lovely place with good food and we were made to feel very welcome.
A lovely place to stay
A long bumpy drive to get there, but it was worth it. The staff were very good, the rooms very comfortable and well equipped and we were able to walk unaccompanied along the river bed. A nice sociable place to stay, wish there were more places like this where you can socialise with your fellow travellers.
