Lodges in Namakwa District Municipality

"Staff was friendly and breakfast was great "

"The staff in general and the manager in particular, worked hard to please. We could see that (quite necessary) building improvements are underway. Parking was a big issue; not good!"

"Calvinia hotel was like an oasis in the desert. Comfortable, cool and comforting. We had to book for our return trip as well."

"Simple, with beautiful views and very restful after a long day of driving. Great stopover between Cape Town and Windhoek. Have been twice and will be back! "

"Hotel room was new and modern. Checkin staff were very efficient. Wifi worked well. Restaurant seemed underprepared for everything, however. I got dinner after a long wait but the restaurant had run out of gas for other patrons. At an early breakfast, they were already out of eggs and coffee and I waited again. This seems like a lovely hotel in a country setting with good facilities and views - it just needs better restaurant service. And if you do not eat red meat, get dinner in town instead - I did not have much choice."

"The eco village is tucked away in the private nature reserve. Wonderful views of springboks as you drive to the eco village on the grounds. Rooms were clean and modern, exceptionally comfortable bed. We will welcomed upon arrival with a glass of port - nice touch. Dinner and breakfast were exceptional, tasty food especially the rack of lamb. Stargazing with Eben was an exciting and unique experience. Will stay here again."

"Old school charm lodge with antiques furnishings; comfortable suite; great location/view; breakfast was fine but not amazing; Wifi worked great; TV had more options than I was expecting; bathroom was clean but felt like it was from another era. Overall, I would stay here again and recommend it."

"The accomodation was nice and comfortable and the food was good. The staff were friendly. Parking easy. However the cockeral started crowing at 2 am outside our door and it went through the night both nights so we did not really get much sleep during our stay. The cockeral spoilt it for us I'm afraid but if that does not bother you then its a nice hotel."

"Our stay at Naries Namakwa Retreat was excellent, it was a wonderful experience to stay in one of the Mountain suites. The staff are polite, friendly and very helpful. The meals are excellent. This will be I stay that I will always remember."
