"Red Dunes Lodge"

1 night Arrived 20 Sep 2013
"Very well situated, just by the B1 and although we were not able to enjoy much of it as we arrived just as the sun was setting due to having to get a tyre repaired, it was a nice place to stay.

The rooms were very nice, private and comfortable and the staff were all very welcoming and helpful, including Toffee the pet meerkat. The food was very good as well." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa
