"Pelican Point Lodge review"
South Atlantic waves crashing against the sands, populated by seals, jackals, flamingoes & pelicans.
Kayaking with seals was memorable.
Awesome spot not quite matched by the staff, who tried hard, the accommodation (in need of updating) or the food.
An energetic new manager had started 2 weeks earlier & she has plans to turn around a potentially fabulous & unusual spot. Investment needed which we were told is available." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

They are painting the lighthouse so it should look better soon than it did!
Seals in 1000’s!
We upgraded ourselves to the watch tower. Incredible (but noisy in the wind and the light goes round so anyone who sleeps lightly wouldn’t enjoy it!)" See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia
"Pelican Point Lodge review"
There was one set of other guests for the first night and just us for the second night. We took an upgrade to the honeymoon suite on the top floor with its excellent views. It was a bit chilly and windy to spend much time out on the roof terrace but this would be lovely in warm weather.
We enjoyed spending time with the seals and flamingos, and the sheer isolation. The chef was very friendly and the food was very good." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Pelican Point Lodge review"
we have very light lunch and they charge as if it was a normal one...but we asked for oysters and they got it.That was great!!
but ocean suite is gorgeous even if WIFI wasn't possible upstairs
and there are really no reason to have so few time for electricity ( not enough time to put devices in complete charge)...they just need to have more panels !!" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

The food was excellent, rooms very comfortable, and service very good.
We also loved the morning kayaking trip with Naude and Katja Dreyer, it was a definite highlight of our trip." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

Worth spending a bit of time in Walvis Bay too where birds were amazing.
Some people might find the rooms lacking in privacy." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Fabulous location, rooms and food"
Great food, great location. All the rooms look great - we stayed in the one nearest the lighthouse, on the first floor - windows at each end mean we got amazing sunrises *and* sunsets. Don'r go expecting lots of activities - it's an hour's drive into Walvis Bay and, really, why would you bother? Come here for the peace, the wildlife and the sense of relaxation that comes from such an amazing location. Fabulous." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
