"Beach Lodge review"
The receptionist staff let the hotel down - twice failing to pass on messages, and not regarding this as a matter of any great concern.
Our very dirty car was cleaned for us before we left.
Day trip along the coast south of Swakopmund: Somewhat disappointing. Because of a high sea we were unable to reach Sandwich harbour but stayed on the dunes.
However we saw the extensive salt workings and later spent some time looking at the flamingos and pellicans (which we felt were worth watching!) and enjoyed this. Although we did not get to Sandwich Harbour, our trip was not cut short but lasted until 6.0 pm. A good and ample picnic lunch was provided." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa
"Beach Lodge Review"
From our room at the Beach Lodge we had dramatic views of the huge waves (even by the standards of the locals). A little noisy in the middle of the night but in such circumstances who cares!
We had a really good meal there on our second night.
Overall a good place to take stock after the adventures we had just had and prepare for those to come." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Beach Lodge review"
Was a good location but a short drive out of the centre of Swakopmund, this was not a problem as there was always plenty of parking available. Would recommend staying here for a number of nights to be used as a base." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia
"Beach Lodge review"
The rooms were excellent, and although we didn't eat here in the evening, the dining room was super, tastefully furnished, with wonderful views and if the breakfasts were anything like the evening meals then the food was also excellent. The best breakfasts we had all holiday.
Staff too were very helpful and friendly, especially in the dining room and also I appreciated the complimentary car wash - it needed it at this stage!!" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Beach Lodge review"
We really enjoyed staying here because of the room and didn't want to leave. It was really nice to be so close to the beach but the downside was that it was quite far from town if you did want to go out to a retaurant to eat. Had the room not been so lovely this would have been a let down, but as it was we stayed in and cooked for ourselves!! Breakfast was also good and they even cleaned the car for me."
