"Amazing location"

2 nights Arrived 11 Aug 2007
"Nice warm welcome on arrival

Restuarant staff and process was disorganised, and the food on the first night was terrible

Our room was nice, with a good view, but there were a couple of holes in our mostiuquto net which made it a but useless -
small things like this are easy to fix and should be

Honab day trip was really good"

Okaukuejo Camp

Okaukuejo Camp

"Excellent rooms, poor food choices"

2 nights Arrived 13 Aug 2007
"The restuarant was closed for refit, and the temporary restuarant facilities were in a temporary tent. There was often queues for 15 - 20 mins to get any food, and most of the time the food was scarce and extremely limited. The staff were disorganised and the whole process of getting either breakfast or an evening meal was stressful and chaotic.

The whole experience was a very negative view of the restcamp.

The shop was poorly stocked and so there was no alternatiuve other than to use the restuarant. Future visitors should be advised to stock up at a shop or supermarket beofre they arrive at the camp as our room at least had a fridge that we could have used to store food if we had brought some with us.

The waterhole at the camp was amazing and a highlight of our trip, and the rooms were outstanding - they are better than some european 5* hotels we have stayed in"

"Good location"

2 nights Arrived 15 Aug 2007
"Good rooms - we had a family suite to ourselves

Restaurant was better than Okaukuejo Restcamp but still very limited options if you don't want a full 3 course meal - eg a light breakfast or lunch as the shop was limited."
