"Very charming and quiet place"

1 night Arrived 5 Aug 2019
"Above expectations (we had heard mixed feedback about this place).

The lodge is lovely, ideally located next to the mountains, a few trails to do where you can spot mountain zebras! the host was lovely and great atmosphere." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"To be avoided"

1 night Arrived 26 Jul 2019
"The only reason we stayed here was because of the advertised kloof that Bullspoort is supposedly at the base of for "easy access" and walking. It turns out that the kloof is about 5km away and the rock pools only accessable if you do the all day walk which requires ferrying to and from by vehicle.

The staff were not particularly friendly and one got the sense that everything needed to be done according to the way the owner wanted it done otherwise the staff would be in trouble. Examples were "sorry I cannot give you the wifi code, you need to get that from the manager, we are not allowed to know what it is" to the staff getting extremely agitated when we were not all seated at 7.30 for dinner. Then the poor staff members have to serve you dinner and then sit at the table with you making small talk which was very awkward.

When we did have any dealings with the owner he was pretty surly." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 3n in Zimbabwe

"Very poor management"

2 nights Arrived 13 May 2019
"It's a working farm that relies on paying guests.

NB Offers mainly hiking and horses. The Quiver Tree hike is a real test and to be done very carefully but well worth it.

The facilities, kitchen staff and guides are great but if the owners, who were absent on our 2 nights, really want the communal supper to be enjoyable, they need to train their middle management to be able to converse.

The dogs, however, are very amusing and entertaining!" See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Bullsport Guest Farm review"

1 night Arrived 6 Feb 2019
"At first sight a bit alarmed by the orange and lime green paintwork, but warm and welcoming service and comfortable rooms soon put paid to that. Really great to sit down to dinner with husband and wife owners and getting an insight into the challenges and joys of living in the area.

No real rain for seven years means farming has ground to a halt, although we did see a healthy herd of cattle which surprisingly were able to find nourishment in the mountains.

Excellent walk in the mountains with a very good guide. Bereft of wildlife however. Saw two rock eagles, skittish hyraxes, guinea fowl, squirrels" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Beautiful setting"

1 night Arrived 27 Oct 2018
"We didn't expect Bullsport to be as pleasant, relaxed and comfortable as it was. Our luxury room was great - simple, but spacious, with comfortable bed, nice bathroom and shower.

The estate itself and the surrounding countryside are beautiful and interesting. I managed to fit in a 2.5 hour horse ride in the morning of departure which I loved. Their horses are lovely and they also have a few very friendly old dogs around.

Although we personally don't like communal dining and were very tired that evening, it was not unpleasant and the food was good. We were glad we could serve ourselves so that we can have the right size portions (in our case small). Staff were pleasant.

I wish we stayed for more than one night as there are great walks in the vicinity." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Bullsport Guest Farm review"

2 nights Arrived 26 Oct 2018
"Took walks and one game drive with young man, Jonathon, who worked there but was actually raised on a nearby local farm. Great information about farming/ranching in Namibia.
Hiked the Quivertree Gorge Trail, over 5KM, also went horseback riding.

Food was good." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia
