"Still a great starting point"

2 nights Arrived 4 Nov 2018
"This was the third time we had started our Namibian trip here, and the experience was as good as ever.

Bettina is a charming an attentive host, and the lodge is a great place to relax for a day or two after a long journey.

There are no formal activities, but the hide and ability to do bush walks is good." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia

"Beautiful estate"

1 night Arrived 31 Oct 2018
"The estate is very beautiful, red earth, striking vegetation, outdoor sculptures, lots of birds.

The rooms are unusual and fun, but could do with an update, particularly the bathroom. The food was good, we found the portions a bit large.

There are great walks around the estate, we wish we stayed longer to explore them." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Eningu Clayhouse review"

2 nights Arrived 28 Oct 2018
"Beautiful spot, met Bettini, nice woman. Great staff.
lots of walking trails, small animals & birds.

We saw Kudu at many places, they are not on your sightings lists. Also saw mongoose, baboons, Black Back Jackels, Steenbok, Springbok, and a plethora of birds.

We drove to Windhoek for another day there, back to bookstore, repair tire, ate Portuguese food, that was good." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"It was lovely to return to this lodge"

2 nights Arrived 10 Nov 2017
"This was our third visit to the lodge. It is just over a hour's drive from the airport.

The area surrounding the lodge offers plenty of opportunities for walking in the bush. The walks are clearly marked and the map that we were given was accurate. We didn't see any game on our walks but there were lots of birds. There was also plenty of evidence of wildlife - scat, tracks, porcupine quills, mole rat excavations etc.

It is such a lovely place to stay - interesting buildings, characterful interiors, helpful staff, great food - an oasis of tranquility.

We stayed for two nights but wish we had booked for three." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Eningu Clayhouse review"

1 night Arrived 22 Jul 2017
"A wonderful finale in Namibia. Would have been great to have another night here too.

Lovely hostess, food, rooms, walks…. Also the drive across was very interesting and on a pretty good road too. It did take about 6 ½ hours but we enjoyed it and didn’t feel exhausted on arrival.

We were surprised to be the only guests that night. Very easy hour drive to the airport and efficient handover of the car. A pleasant wait in the Wilderness Safari Lounge altho the plane ended up leaving quite a bit later. It did seem a bit shambolic in the departure Lounge."

"Loved this place, so peaceful and relaxing. Best food of all the places we stayed.
It is noticeable that the owner is not about during the day - needs to get a proactive manager" See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
