Perfect relaxation destination
I stayed at the River Crossing Lodge for a few days at the end of a two week trip. The rooms are very comfortable with gorgeous views of the surrounding hills. I spent most of the time relaxing on the porch of my chalet or the porch of the main lodge. I had the full board package and thoroughly enjoyed my meals. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again.

Great place. Service was a very basic. The WiFi was terrible. The good good but little option for dinner, and given the location it is impossible to go to other places.

The lodge was great and the staff was excellent! My room was superb and spacious, and I had a great view! The restaurant had plenty of delicious options and the menu always varied. The shuttle allowed me to make my appointments or errands in the city and made airport pickup super easy! The staff always went above and beyond! I had the best stay here and I'll definitely be staying here for all my trips to Namibia! I highly recommend this lodge!

Manager is absolutely wonderful. Gosh I wish I could recall her by name! The whole place is welcoming, from the reception, to restaurant staff, to bar staff, to room hospitality. Rooms are large and comfortable. The view is reason enough to visit, but go for the food. The food is incredible. I would be very happy just to live there! We were there as a herping group, and were treated like royalty, despite our dirty clothing from hiking and our over indulgence in delicious Rock Shandys. When my airport transfer didn't show up the manager was there to help. Awesome place to stay!

Great views
Perfect location for our last night before returning to the airport which is only 20 minutes away. The views down to Windhoek are terrific. Our evening meal was also very good and we sat out on the verandah taking in the sunset. Our chalet was comfortable but not plush and the staff were attentive. The bar closed at 9 which was a surprise but didn’t affect us on this occasion and the WiFi was useful to catch up after a long trip. We would stay again.

One of the best places I stayed in. It's a mix of the peace and quite of being in the middle of nowhere, in close proximity to wildlife (in my case the baboons wandering on my doorstep), and the elegance brought by the available services whilst in the property, i.e. the pool, the restaurant. It has a great view of the city of Windhoek from afar. The villas are clean, cozy, and quiet. Many thanks to the staff, especially to the friendly Lusia for looking after me during my stay.

Stayed 1 night before leaving for the airport. The lodge is outside of the city the view is spectacular, it is quiet and a nice play to stay as an alternative to a city hotel. Highly recommended.
