"Eningu Clayhouse review"

1 night Arrived 9 Aug 2010
"We arrived here when it was nearly dark so we didn't have time to take full advantage of the opportunities on offer here. However, my sons thoroughly enjoyed looking up at the milky way while relaxing in the jacuzzi and I went for a lovely walk on my own first thing in the morning.

A relaxing ending to our holiday." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Eningu Clayhouse review"

1 night Arrived 31 Jan 2010
"This treat for the eye is a superbly comfortable nature retreat in the middle of nowhere. The sounds you hear will be made by hundreds of birds or maybe the shush-shush of a preoccupied porcupine meandering through the yard or maybe you'll hear the new owner extolling her mastery of contracts and her shrewdness in protecting herself against liability for possible acts of negligence by the previous owner(s), etc., etc.

Eningu Clayhouse is in transition between owners. During breakfast on our one morning there, the only guest (me) couldn't hear the aforementioned birds or the rodent due to a business discussion carried on by the new owner at the next table; so, we left.

With the likely addition of television from Europe and an Internet café we sense that this property may become a Kalahari roadhouse for high rollers and we cannot recommend it to anyone at this time" See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"The best start to a Namibian Journey"

2 nights Arrived 19 Sep 2009
"The perfect start to our holiday in Namibia, very friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere, and a great welcome from Kate the host.
The walking trails are very well laid out and there are lots of information points to help to gain more knowledge about the local trees and shrubs and ways of life...excellent!

The food was quite the best that we experienced on the whole journey. We can think of no better place to start and finish one's visit to Namibia, and any future trips will have this as the start and finish point!" See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Fantadstic personal start to a great trip"

1 night Arrived 9 Sep 2009
"Wonderful personal welcome from Kate the owner and her small son - cold towels to wipe away the dust on arrival and a warm welcome despite the fact that Kate had overlooked our arrival and wasn't expecting us.

The little houses were lovely, the food was good and well presented, the walking trails were well marked, and the porcupine which was fed by the back door after supper was an added bonus.

It was a great place to begin our African adventure." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Eningu Clayhouse review"

2 nights Arrived 11 Dec 2008
"Although Kate Dunstan is no longer in residence the manager running Eningu was very welcoming and we had a pleasant stay, the only downside, apart from the rain, was the now restricted walks around the lodge due to the neighbouring farmer's hunting consession.

There was nothing to see apart from birds and bushes, shame really." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Eningu Clayhouse review"

2 nights Arrived 28 Oct 2008
"As no doubt you know, the present owner has moved out and the lodge is up for sale. Meanwhile, a manager is running the place efficiently.

We've stayed there twice before (during the tenure of Stephanie and Volker) and could see little significant change. We like it. The food was good, but our two dinners both had heavy first and second courses (eg beef carpaccio, followed by eland goulash!), which seemed odd given the wide choice of really excellent salads at lunch time."
