Very nice buildings and the people are friendly, but it seems to be missing warmth.
The rooms are big and clean. The beds are 160 cm wide with standard covers that are too small for two adults.
There is a nice swimming pool with deckchairs around it.
There are two waterpoints for (wild) animals and we saw some jackals and (after dark) a group of 30 or so wildebeest. We were told also zebra and wild cheetah frequent the waterpoints.
We booked this location because there was a possibility to rent bikes. On arrival we were told the bikes were not in good condition. 
We did do the cheetah tour which was ok. As in other places the cheetahs were born in captivity and do not hunt. They were fed just that morning and were resting. The driver drove his truck towards the cats to get them to move which disturbed me.
The farm belongs to the same owner as the lodge, fuel station and bakery some 7 kms away. Only cash payment is accepted but if needed you can pay with credit card for the Farm at the fuel station. There is also an atm at the fuel station. 

All in all a nice location for a night but it could be much better.

PS the bakery is REALLY worth a visit.

Nice but misses warmth

It has a nice pool and comfortable large  room with a/c build so you can access outdoor area directly from your room, Open nice restaurant with very limit menu and standard meals. This place gives an impression someone have created a wonderful place; but have been taken over by new owners who more keep what they have instead of developing further. Just a feeling and not a fact. Still good place for a stop.

Comfortable for an overnight

It is a long drive from Walvis Bay Airport and some parts of the road are really bumpy. 

From the main road, you need to take another 5~10 minutes drive to the property.  Really gives you the feeling that you are in the desert.  The property is very close to Solitaire, a small little place where you can find a gas station, a convenient store, a bakery and a café for food.

Checking in is efficient and we were told that we can drive our call to the room/chalet.  Decent size room with a open area outside the room.  Room is generally clean but there are no toiletries, so you will need to bring your own shower gel, shampoo etc, including your toothbrush and shavers.

The area outside the room has 2 chairs and a table.  Weather was great when we were there and it feels so comfortable sitting there to just do nothing or watch the sunset or just looking up at the stars in the evening.  This is the first time, we felt that the stars are so clear and close to us!  A fantastic experience.

Dinner and breakfast are provided and for dinner, the food is very good. Highly recommend the pan-fried Hake Fillet.  Breakfast is simple.  The area where you have your meals looks into the wilderness and offers a good sunset view.

It was very windy on our second night and when we woke up in the morning, we discovered the strong winds have blown sand particles into the room and on our blankets!

The only inconvenience is the strength of the wifi.  Can't received any wifi in the room.  Otherwise, would certainly recommend this place.

Beautiful place for star gazing!

Check in at the Solitaire Desert farm was swift and friendly. Campsites are clean with an personal lapa and ablution block but almost nu shade to put your vehicle under. Restaurant menu choice for campers is limited and are kept seperated from the lodge guests for whatever reason, we are not (all) a paria you know. We were traveling with a rooftop tent because that is the only way to stay in the NP Campsites of Moremi & Chobe in Botswana as so many others. Food was good and service swift and friendly. It is a nice location to make pictures of the sunset and, when conditions are right, of the night sky.  Over night wind became strong so in the morning we had to break up in a bit of a  sand storm.

"Windy night"

Lovely room: it was very windy & we even had a few drops of rain. Dined well outside - tasty oryx.  More than lived up to its reputation, in a pleasant setting within easy reach of Sossusvlei.  Excellent for a stopover.

Tasty Oryx

Once you enter the front of the property you feel as though you are going somewhere special and that is what you find at the end of a 7km drive. There is a lovely pool area with seats overlooking the waterhole. The lovely Meyner is the life and soul of the place, she treats each guest as though they are special. The rooms are great and the beds are extremely comfortable. The grounds have been designed in an authentic style and the restaurant is open air but under cover. The food was excellent. 
If I'm honest it was a tad expensive.

Classy Farm lodge

We stayed in the campground, which has beautiful open views.  Each campsite is quite spacious and has its own facilities (restroom, electricity, picnic tables).  We stayed two non-consecutive nights at different campsites.  The first site was great.  In the second, the facilities weren't as clean -- the shower was clogged and hot water didn't work very well. The staff is extremely friendly and there are nice trails starting onsite.   The reception has free wireless internet access as well as coffee and tea.  We had a-la-carte dinner, which has ok options (burgers, brats, salads).

Spacious campsites, lovely landscaping

Enjoyed the camping - beautiful sites, but had a poor experience at the restaurant. Game steaks tough and not cooked according to order, very disappointing. Had excellent experience before, expected more 

Beautiful campsite, poor food

This lodge has wonderful views and a beautifully kept garden. An awesome location. The staff made us feel very welcome. Great homemade food, personally prepared. The sunset was amazing. A great place to stay!

How red can a sunset be?

My 7 year old daughter and I spent 2 nights of our 11 night Namibia sojourn at the Solitaire desert lodge. When booking online I could find nothing closer to Sesriem that still had rooms but I am so glad we stayed here. The location, in the desert surrounded by craggy hills 7 kilometers from Solitaire proper is stunning. The rooms are simple but charming. We slept well, even with the sound of playful jackals nearby waking us in the night. For early morning travelers who want to head out to Sossusvlei before breakfast is served at 7, they will pack you up a hearty breakfast bag and leave it in the fridge to grab on your way out. They do not serve lunch (you can get it at their cafe or bakery in “town”) and dinner is overpriced, but given they are in the middle of nowhere that can be forgiven.
