"Bijou Bungalows"
The bungalows were, to say the least, compact, but wonderfully and innovatively equipped - although with kitchen, bathroom and toilet and sleeping in the same room, many couples may not have liked it!
We were fine however.
We bought the braai packs for evening meals and had the breakfast packs supplied, and just enjoyed the peace and quiet and the stunning views.
The facilities at the Desert Horse Inn were excellent, although we were so happy at Eagle's Nest we didn't use them, and Peter and his team were excellent too.
We will definitely return here - but would like to experience the full-sized accommodation!" See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia

"The owners have thought of everything"
We opted to have the self catering bbq pack (need to pre order) for our first night, which means you self cater your breakfast too! You tick off what food you want and they provide the basket with everything in it. We ordered way too much food as on top of the game steaks with rubs, boerewors and jacket potatoes you get salad, coleslaw, bread, fruit and yogurt.
Then for breakfast you get smoked salmon, bread, butter, eggs, bacon and jam. Great fun though and cooked to perfection! The second night we went to the Desert Horse Inn for dinner, which was a buffet. All the food was freshly cooked and there was plenty of variety for every course. You are allocated your table and we requested one on the balcony outside which was lovely.
Breakfast is buffet style and ideal to eat and go early for your next destination. Piet the owner of Eagles Nest and Desert Horse Inn is a mine of information and very interesting to talk to. He even advised us on using the D707 on our route to Sossusvlei for a more scenic route. This turned out to be one of the best roads we drove on as it had just been graded.
We visited the wild horses from the lodge, which is just down the road and an easy drive on paved roads. We also visited Kolmanskop ghost town, which is well worth the visited, then drove on to Luderitz. Here we explored the town via the walking guide in the Bradt guide book. There are self guided walks from the cabins which we didn't have time to do unfortunately. There are quite a few baboons in the area so you are warned to keep the windows and doors locked. That said we did not have any trouble with them.
This is a great place to stay, Highly recommended." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"We loved staying at mountain view,Eagles nest"
We decided on the packs as restaurant was a 7 km drive each way in the dark. we enjoyed our barbecue and then sitting outside by the fire. The bungalow was very comfortable with every amenity for self catering.
The reception on check in advised of times and driving instructions for Luderitz, Kolmanskop Ghost Town and the feral horses. which we did the day after arrival. On day of arrival we went on a short hike in the Klein aus Vista reserve using a trail map provided by reception" See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana

"Great location - excellent self catering pack"
We were very pleased that we spent two nights here - the original plan had been to stay only one night. The extra day gave us the opportunity to do the two hour (6km) signed walk round the back of the rocks behind the room and then down through the boulders back to the start. Great views and easy to follow, although as advised care had to be taken. The park fee you pay if you want to do the walk includes a book which gives details of a number of walks in the area.
We opted for the self catering dinner in order to avoid the 7km drive back to the main lodge in the dark and were amazed by the Braai Pack which included Camel Thorn wood which burned with very little smoke and excellent instructions for those not used to barbecuing. First self-cooked Braais but very good results." See all these reviews: 13n in South Africa; 8n in Namibia
