"A comfortable stopover stay"
The only slight issue is regarding afternoon tea. It is advertised as complementary tea/ coffee and cake between 3-4pm. However, on both occasions cake was not available. The staff then set to and baked one which was delicious when it arrived sometime later." See all these reviews: 9n in Zimbabwe; 5n in Namibia

"Excellent stopover after flight to Windhoek"
The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was of a high standard. The provision of evening meals was very welcome as we had no desire to go out into Windhoek that evening to find somewhere to eat." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
