"Eagle's Nest review"

2 nights Arrived 24 Oct 2013
"We had a warm welcom at the lodge and were guided to drive out to our cabins in the desert, were we should stay for two nights.

It was a lovely sight when we arrived there at sunset and the cabins were almost hidden in between the boulders. When we parked the car, two Klipspringers were taken by surprise and bolted away when we stepped out.

We had a barbecue the first evening and we could hear an Oryx grasing in front of us. He was not scared and reluctanly moved away when we put the flashlight on him.

Very good service and a wonderful place." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Eagle's Nest review"

2 nights Arrived 16 Sep 2013
"Very good indeed. An excellent location with excellent accommodation. Staff and owners were very friendly and helpful.

Some comments - the Eagle's Nest chalets are 7km from the main lodge, which is a little too far to drive for breakfast. Expert Africa mention "breakfast packs" but these were not available.

Although described on the Expert Africa website as "self catering" and although bookings are done on a B&B basis only, the main lodge does have a restaurant. You do not have to be self-catering.

The BBQ packs were enormous, expect huge amounts of food. Unless you do like vast amounts of food, I would suggest ordering one fewer packs than the number in your party - you will not need all the food if you order one pack per person.

A perfect location for day-trips to Luderitz" See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 3n in South Africa

"Eagles Nest - beautiful location"

3 nights Arrived 11 Sep 2013
"These were in a stunning location with wonderful views. The chalet we were in was built around a huge boulder and the wine rack was made from a quiver tree! We were here three nights to recover and sort ourselves out after the mule hike. We opted to take the breakfast and braai packs, that the main lodge provide, if you don't wish to go back to the restaurant to dine.

The packs were very good and we enjoyed doing our own braai while having a sundowner. We tried a couple of the self guided hikes from our chalet, some easier than others, but providing stunning views and the chance to see some of the game in the area. A good location to go out and see the desert horses as well, we spent two hours just watching them and their interactions, it was fascinating.

The chalets are well presented and have everything you need, including a fireplace for those colder evenings. A good place to relax and enjoy the beautiful desert scenery." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa

"Truly in the desert"

2 nights Arrived 10 Sep 2013
"Apart from the fact that our wonderful rooms were 9 Kms from the dining room, this place was wonderful, we all felt we were right in the middle of the desert, and at times, the only sound was our heart beat!

The staff were knowledgeable & very attentive, and service felt very personal, despite the dining room being big & busy.

Food was good, with lots of choice to suit all tastes. We were given all the makings for a BBQ the first evening, which we cooked and ate at our rooms.

The rooms were lovely & had everything we would need for a longer stay. Views were superb, with wildlife everywhere.

Eagles Nest was a superb place to stay for us to visit Luderitz & Kolmanskop. We also managed to see hundreds of wild horses, some seemed to be suffering badly from the drought." See all these reviews: 24n in Namibia; 2n in South Africa

2 nights Arrived 29 Jul 2013
"Really amazing stay in 'The Rock' BUT we caught two nights of very strong winds and icy temperatures which necessitated hot water bottles and lighting the fire!

Wonderful views and spectacular sunsets.

Very much enjoyed our day in Luderitz." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"This is our perfect location with beautifully appointed and maintained accommodation, walks from the door in every direction and everything 'just so'. Piet the very friendly and welcoming owner adds to the pleasure of rediscovering this bolt hole each time we return.

It just ticks all the boxes for us without exception." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
