"BullsPort Lodge and Farm review"
We were well looked after by the owner and did all of the local walks which were a good introduction to Namibia and allowed us to start spotting wildlife (mainly baboons, kudu, klipspringer and hyrax and one very surprised snake.). Food was simple but generous - we ate zebra two nights running and would have preferred some variation.
Overall clean, well located for a two night stop and a good insight into farm life in a desert.
We visited the Neuras vineyard after BullsPort and would recommend it for novelty value and a good cheese board." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Perfect base for exploring Naukluft Mountains"
Every evening, we had a solid three-course dinner on the terrace outside the main living room. In the morning, a small buffet breakfast. On demand, lunch. You can select anything to drink from the small self-service bar, register your purchase in a small notebook, and settle the account at departure.
We stayed in one of the “luxury rooms” behind the main house. It was perfect with all necessities and air-condition. A small pool and sun chairs next to the farm-house came in handy in the heat.
The staff were all extraordinary kind, and it was also a pleasure to talk to the owners of the farm; J & E - and play with their three kind dogs.
The main attraction at BullsPort are all the walking tracks in Naukluft Mountains and the horse riding (if you ride). We enjoyed the two most scenic (?) walking tracks in the area, a) the Quivertree George Trail and the Arch Trail.

"BullsPort Lodge and Farm review"
Unfortunately the staff weren't expecting us, we had this bizarre conversation with the person who greeted us who insisted we weren't booked in at all and said the only option we could have was to camp!! This was the last thing we needed after an extremely long drive. 20minutes later it was only sorted out when the owner appeared and said it was OK!! They then had to prepare a room for us.
The evening meal was served at 19.00 and no later. The food was basic, but OK.
We were also informed at 20.15 we had to clear the table ourselves if we wanted to sit and chat to other guests.
The owner was very nice and helpful which was the only positive comment we could make about Bullsport." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
