"Great place"
Lovely outdoor dining area on a balcony around the main building. Food was very good, service friendly, eager to please & welcoming.
The wild horses were worth a visit but sad to see them in such a poor state & learn how man is interfering with nature." See all these reviews: 27n in Namibia; 1n in Botswana

"Great stay at the Desert Horse Inn"
We were a little late in arriving so did not see the horses at the nearby waterhole but by getting there early the next morning, we were rewarded by a beautiful sunrise and seeing the horses (6) saunter over from afar to drink at the waterhole, followed by a lone Oryx bull.
As elsewhere in Namibia, the scenery was outstanding." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
"Desert Horse Inn review"
"Very homely with a lot of thoughtful touches"
The restaurant and bar area were lovely - we didn't eat dinner there as we were full from lunch although the barman did suggest a cheese platter which went down a treat - breakfast was lovely with lots of home made treats" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Relaxed camping at Desert Horse Inn"
However, this gave us the chance to visit the Garub waterhole immediately. The campsite itself is nicely located at the side of a few mountains. All facilities are good, the main building and reception area are at Klein Aus Vista which is 2km from the campsite." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 1n in Zimbabwe
"Friendly, homely place to stay"
Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the meals were excellent. One of the owner brothers came around each table at dinner and gave us some great insights into the lodge, the hstory of the area and the Namibian climate.
A walk in the evening gave great views at sundown even if we did lose the route on the return so walked further than planned!
We only saw a few of the desert horses in the area and not close enough for photos. The drive to Luderitz is amazing with the barren Karoo desert, including sandstorms closer to Luderitz, albeit not sufficient to impact driving on the tarred road.
We had two lunches at the Bahnhof Hotel in Aus coming and going. It is a friendly and efficient spot with a surprising good and broad menu and worth a stop in the town." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Fantastic private cabins"

"A truly wonderful place to stop over."
The afternoon tour with drinks and game drive was a marvellous experience. This site is worthy of a two night stop over. One night is really not enough to take in all the tours and attractions the site has to offer.
The buffet meals really exceeded our expectations as was by far the best to date." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
"Eagles nest"
Supper on the first night was not good, and we thought rather expensive compared to other meals we ate in Namibia, because we felt we were a captive audience. So on the next night we went to Aus for supper - the Bahnhof hotel, wonderful meal great service - we loved it!" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
