Goibib Mountain Lodge

First if all.. what you see on the website is not what you get. Maybe in the past?? We arrived at 2.45 pm and had to wake the people up to open for us. Apparently they sleep between 1-3 pm. Campsite braais were not cleaned and sites very basic. Ablutions were nice though. When asked what was for dinner in the “ so-called” restaurant we were told normally schnitzel and salad but as it was still frozen, can’t have it. 2nd option was buffet but they had not made anything yet, so no food in restaurant. Camping sites had no protection against cold winds and just very unkept. I (wife) did not feel comfortable there and we left (did not ask for refund) and went to another place

On our annual trip from South Africa to Swakopmund we discovered Goibib. The owner and his wife welcomed us like family. We had a drink from the honesty bar at the pool before sitting down for dinner. The food was delicious and the accommodation was like home away from home. I can recommend this Lodge!!

Un endroit idéal pour faire une halte avant de visiter le Fish River ou sur la route de l'Afrique du Sud. Le lodge est proche de la B1 assez fréquentée mais on entend à peine passer les camions . André et son épouse sont des gens si charmants que l'on hésiterait presque à les déranger. Quand la porte s'ouvre sur le joli patio, on découvre avec surprise ce havre tranquille, avec les chambres qui l'encadrent et la jolie piscine au fond... ( D'une propreté comme on en a rarement vue!) Des visites de la fermes sont organisées. Les chambres sont confortables, bien nettes et le wifi fonctionne bien. Un petit détail qui a son importance, il y a pléthore de prises pour recharger les appareils, ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas. La soirée s'achève autour d'un bon repas avec d'excellents produits locaux ( le mouton, un régal...), et merci André pour le choix de vin délicieux... le meilleur de notre séjour! Et n'oublions pas non plus l'accueil matinal de la petite chatte Kitty. Merci à vous, ne changez rien, tout est parfait.

First night of a long roadtrip - sole occupiers of a large campsite - our ‘very own’ boma for prepping meals, washing up, ablutions just across the way, very friendly Celine and Andre - thank you for a good start to a brilliant trip - only thing that bothered slightly was a noisy truck or two on the B1

We had to postpone our stay with 4 days, the owner went out of his way and assisted. Dinner 8 star. Friendly and people's people. We arrived later than Expected Andre was in comms all the time and when our guests arrived everything was ready and it felt like arriving home with family. We then requested additional rooms as not everyone wanted to stay with other people, Andre helped without hesitation and went out his way to accommodate our requests. Stunning place and will definitely plan our trips around the venue to be able to stay with our new found friends and catch up on all the happenings. Dinner was warm real organic food that was fresh and filling. The staff is friendly and service great.

Ideal for a stopover when travelling from Cape Town to Namibia. Ablutions are excellent and very clean. Camp sites are well positioned with some having covered cement slabs. The is a swimming pool and wi-fi is available, albeit not at the camp sites. Took a look at the rooms and they are clean and neatly furnished. Only negative is that is not much lighting at the camp site and finding your way to the ablutions at night is daunting. Will definitely be staying there when travelling to Etosha again in 2024.
