Twyfelfontein Country Lodge

Damaraland

This location is a gem. The buildings are well built and although the rooms are not very big they have two 2x1 metre beds with mosquito nets over them, a nice bathroom with a good shower and airconditioning (works only when you are in the room). Courtesy beauty products (first time I saw that during our tour.

The rooms/chalets on the valley side have a stunning view over the valley, as does the restaurant.

We took the afternoon elephant drive which turned into a sundowner. It can be a long drive depending on where the elephants are, but is found it is very rewarding. Warm clothing required.

The staff are very friendly overall. The meals are in buffet-form and there are many options to choose from. Vegetarians are limited to pasta or rice with vegetables. Birds also enjoy the buffet.

There is a fuel station at about 2 kms which accepts cash only.


Exceptional view and service

First impressions of Twyfelfontein Country Lodge are impressive. Entering the lodge is like walking onto the set of a Bond villain’s lair! The lodge is situated against a rock face, nestled amongst huge boulders and rocks. Walkways take you to your clean, comfortable and tastefully furnished room. The bar area offers incredible views of the landscape and has a very exclusive atmosphere. The dining room has equally stunning views but it is very big and busy, with self-service buffet, which involves queuing. This definitely felt a little less exclusive and detracted from the whole experience. My only other complaint is that WiFi is not free and costs roughly €7 for 1GB per person. I realise that the lodge probably relies on expensive satellite internet but I just don’t think it is acceptable to charge for WiFi these days, particularly in such a seemingly upmarket lodge. 

Beautiful lodge in stunning scenery

Arrived in the late afternoon, very tired after a long drive, to find they had given our room to someone else.
After a long wait, they finally found another room for us.

My son found a spider in the bed. Another wait for them to remove it.

Finally the reason why the original guests didnt want the room became apparent when we discovered that the toilet was broken - loudly dribbling water all night. Not that you would want to use the toilet anyway, since the bathroom was open plan, and you could see (and hear) whoever was using it.

Triple is room is tiny and squashed, with barely enough room to put down our luggage

Dinner was ok, especially if you like eating the local wildlife species (really!)
Breakfast had very little fresh fruit.

Wifi was expensive and only available in reception.

At nearly 400 euros a night for a triple room, this was (by far) the worst value of anywhere we have stayed in Namibia (or anywhere else in the world for that matter)

Overpriced and disappointing

We very much enjoyed our night at the Country Lodge.  The rooms were comfortable with AC and nice showers. However, the surroundings were phenomenal - swimming pool was beautiful. The food was good as well!  Thank you!

Great place to stay!

Exceptional  location ! Great place to see sunset and sunrise. Very good  food too. Accomodation nice and clean, with A/C .
But no free WIFI, and you'll have to pay (quite expensive), so be prepared (to pay or be weaned from internet) .


Nice place with stunning view

We stayed at the lodge for 2 nights. We had a really nice stay, the location and rooms were beautiful, and we also ate very well in the lodge restaurant. The staff were professional and helpful, especially Norman who was one of the best people we met on our trip. We also took part in the excursion organised by the lodge to see the desert elephants and were not disappointed! We hope that we will have the opportunity to come back one day.

Really nice stay

The journey from the coast via Uis makes this a destination to celebrate arriving at. Dramatic landscape surrounds the lodge about 10km off newly tarred stretch of road. The bar and restaurant area give fantastic views of the valley and the rock strewn landscape in which the hotel is set. Rooms facing the valley are simple but have good air con and are very comfortable. Internet is only available in the bar and restaurant area and has to be purchased. Perhaps this is the only very small criticism one could have but the friendliness of the welcome, quality of food at dinner and breakfast and the unique location make this a wonderful stop to explore Damaraland .

Beautiful hidden gem nestled in rocky landscape.

We spent 2 nights in two of the suites and were thrilled! The entrance to the lodge is already unique and breathtaking! Everything has been so stylishly integrated into the landscape. The rooms are super clean and lovingly decorated. The reception team is available at all times and provides information on various activities around the lodge. The pool area is incredibly beautifully designed and the bar is also very tasty with views of the sandyest information. Another highlight is the evening and breakfast buffet. The whole team is very friendly and you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local cuisine. Absolutely recommend, one of the most beautiful beach lodges on our journey!!!

Lovely lodge in stunning scenery. Great rooms and super delicious food. Absolute recommendation!!!!

Our stay at Twyfelfontein country lodge was surely the overall favorite of our whole trip.
First impressions upon arriving was the well designed aestetics, with the lodge blending into the mountain rocks. 
Mealtimes offered a substantial variety of flavours and choices and the quality of the presentation and meals could not be faulted.
The staff were always friendly and ready to help when needed 
We found the rooms to be cozy, crispy clean and already a lovely cool temperature as we entered. 
The extra attention to detail with the hanging chairs placed strategically around the lodge provided quaint photo opportunities. We loved the pool! The way it was designed with the natural rock feature and always with the sight and song of gorgeous birds.
For a lodge so far removed from everything else our stay was much needed refreshing and relaxing experience and we will surely choose this lodge for accommodation should we travel here again.

Excellence in a natural setting

Never had before that the guest must pay for the internet usage in Hotel. You should pay even for the ice cubes!!!! if you are not a guest of the hotel.The location was good, but the service is realy not up to date
