"Great place to recover from air travel"
We liked the eccentric, artsy decoration of the place. Food was imaginative and tasteful. Staff was very friendly and helpful. It was no problem that we arrived already at 8 am.
There were not many activities here but we enjoyed the nature trail with explanatory panels." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana
"Welcoming Eningu"
The welcome was friendly, the accommodation and food (provided by a long-standing accomplished chef) excellent, and the pool facilities very comfortable. There is also the added bonus of being able to go for walks in the bush, and the waterhole which provided our first porcupine sighting.
All in all, a great place to relax for a couple of days after long flights etc." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana
"Great welcome and perfect start. Authentic"
Food was good and the location very pretty. It was the perfect start to our holiday. Not too far from the airport and yet we already felt in a remote spot.
Would highly recommend anyone to stay here on their first night." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Remote but not too far from Windhoek airport"
We slightly regretted not having more time there as the Clayhouse is part of a large estate with a lot of wildlife in it and a water hole with a hide 50m from the cottages where the guests are accommodated - we saw kudus in particular but understood there are many other species Next time maybe!
Food was excellent and the accommodation was excellent too." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 10n in Rwanda; 1n in Kenya; 1n in South Africa
"Eningu Clayhouse review"
The lodge was very quiet, in fact we were the only guests and saw the staff only on check-in, evening meal and check out.
There is a pool and a viewing platform from where we watched a Namibian sunset." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"An ideal stop-over"
The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but would benefit from a refresh. In the morning there was no hot water available to shower with, perhaps the solar heating system needs attention.
The hide and small waterhole were an added attraction though we weren't lucky enough to see the porcupines that often come during the evenings.
The food was very good and well presented.
Unfortunately the jacuzi wasn't working properly at the time of our visit." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Glad of the hot water bottle"
