"Stylish and seasidey"
1 night Arrived 2 Oct 2007
"We liked it very much before and were pleased to find things exactly the same. Welcoming contemporary atmosphere with stylish surroundings and friendly hospitality.
Beautiful spot and very well run with delicious, wholesome food. Likde the ostrich shaped napkin design and the explanation as to how it could be replicated at home!
Great for endless walks along the beach and of course handy for the seal colony. Plan to return and do their trip to the Messum crater." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"A slightly disappointing experience"
1 night Arrived 18 Aug 2007
"Arrived to discover no record of our booking. The courtyard rooms with 'a sea view' felt like staff accommodation. The ceiling was stained with earlier leaks and the room was located next to the hotel's main electricity generators - a very noisy experience.
Whilst it was possible to see the sea the view from the rear revealed a brick wall and a pile of old mattresses.
Given its location Cape Cross needs to be a real oasis in a very harsh desert. For us it didn't quite live up to its billing." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

Feedback Response
Since Mr T's return we (Expert Africa) have corresponded with our ground handlers in Namibia regarding the reservation not being received by Cape Cross Lodge. The lodge have recently changed their reservation office and during the change Mr T's booking was 'lost'. Although the lodge were able to accommodate them when they arrived this was in a room that would not usually be used for guests. Cape Cross Lodge has subsequently apologised for this mistake and have offered Mr T a refund.
