"Beach Lodge review"
Breakfasts excellent and if staying in Beach Lodge you must eat in their restaurant The Wreck as the seafood is excellent and although it appears rather formal it isn't . If you stay in Swakopmund you must go on Tommys Living Desert Tour and visit the Village Cafe" See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

"Superb restaurant at Beach Lodge"
"Beach Lodge review"
So it was a surprise to find the restaurant closed!
However the local Expert Africa agent did a good job and agreed to pay for a taxi into Swakopmund each night so everything was sorted quickly and efficiently. On arrival home the cheque for the cost of the taxi's had already arrived. A problem easily and quickly solved.
The Jetty was the best restaurant, followed by The Tug, then the Lighthouse which lacked ambience but had good food." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Beach lodge wonderful"
"Confortable place right on the beach."
"Great location for Beach Lodge"
The Wreck restaurant was not open on Sunday so we ate in Swakopmund. Tried several restaurants without success as the girl on reception had recommended places but not said we needed to book. Eventually got into KUCKIES after a wait which was not too much of a hardship as the bar was good and the seafood was excellent. Ate in the Wreck restaurant at the hotel on Monday but a bit disappointing, the food was good but not as nice as the night before. I felt they were trying too hard to be upmarket so was not really a relaxing atmosphere." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Beach Lodge right on the coast"
We highly recommend the kayaking tour with Jeanne (Eco Marine Kayak Tours), excellent guiding and great fun kayaking with the seals and we were lucky enough to have 4 dolphins right by us whilst we were in the water.
We had an excellent meal at The Wreck, the restaurant at the Beach Lodge, well worth dining there, although closed on Sunday evenings.
The receptionist was not hugely helpful when we arrived which was slightly annoying, we needed to ask various questions with regard to internet, breakfast boxes, receiving a fax for our tour from Jeanne and some information was incorrect." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Beach Lodge review"
Reception very kindly gave us a family suite and it was superb! Oodles of space, kitchenette, two balconies, fabulous bathroom (well two actually!) and of course the restaurant there is tremendous and very very good value for money.
There was also a wood burning stove-type unit in one of the rooms which we absolutely loved. You have to supply your own wood & firelighters though, which of course isn't a problem at all." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
