Rostock Ritz Desert Lodge

Greet lodge and was easy to find. The rooms were cute little huts. Very clean. There was a nice pool. Travis was such a help along with the other staff. The views were simply amazing.breakfast was the same as we had over Namibia and the dinner was nice and reasonably priced.

We strongly recommend to avoid this lodge. My wife had a ski accident which broke her ankle. It happened fews days before the trip. We tried to reschedule our journey but the only answer we got from them is : you have accepted the booking conditions, we keep the monney, contact your insurance to be refunded. Tough commercial behaviors and client situation not taken into account.

Our small tour group stopped at this lodge for lunch. The lodge is in the middle of nowhere. It is very unique architecture and environmentally aware facility. Everyone loved their lunches. I had the Sirloin of Springbok with chips (French Fries ). The portions were huge - just like all the other lunches. It was my first time having Springbok and it was memorable. The meat, medium rare, was extremely tender, juicy, and tasty. I, in all my 75 years, have never had such a memorable lunch experience. The service was friendly and efficient. The restroom was clean. We all enjoyed our time there.

we used this lodge as a stop halfway in between Sossousvlei and Swakopmund. It was a very relaxing stay. We enjoyed the beautiful and shaded pool area, the stunning views and the fantastic food. All the personnel and the owners were very friendly and helpful, happy to provide recommendations. We definitely recommend to eat dinner outside on the beautiful terrace with gorgeous desert views. The waiters will bring candles to make you as comfortable as possible. You can dine under the stars and enjoy the most delicious Oryx and Springbok steaks. Don't forget to look for the mountain zebras that are roaming freely around the lodge (there was even a cute baby hanging around).

This is a bit of a hidden gem. It's located somewhat off the beaten track and makes a great stopping point if you are travelling north from Soussusvlei. The accommodation is not flashy and a little unusual looking, but they have built it to blend in well with its surroundings. It's comfortable enough. The food is great here, particularly if you take the a la carte option. The pool area was the nicest we saw at any of the lodges we stayed at in Namibia. The terrace area gives wonderful views, particularly at sunset. You are a 20 minute walk away from being in the desert, sharing your space with oryx and zebras and the glorious landscapes that make this area so special. The staff here are all wonderful, and I would like to highlight how welcome Travis made us feel and how helpful and friendly he was throughout our stay. It was also extremely good value compared to most of the other places on our route. Thanks to the Rostock Ritz for helping to make our Namibia trip so great!

This was one of our favourite lodges. The location is absolutely stunning being quite a drive from the road. The rooms look like Hobbit dwellings - stone igloos, yet they are completely practical with locking wardrobes, solar panels to heat water in the shower, and your own private balcony with tremendous views. There’s no aircon but there is a fan. Depending on the time of year you develop a system of opening and closing the windows, to keep hot air in or out. Mosquito nets were provided but we weren’t bitten. We loved the rooms. There’s a beautiful swimming pool with sunbeds. For dinner there is an Al a Cart menu. At lunchtime other guests turn up for meals. We stayed 2 nights which gave us time to try a couple of the marked self guided walks. We had a great experience of watching a family of zebra for an hour. There were also oryx and Guinea fowl. You can watch the sunset on the patio, of the restaurant, with a drink just before dinner. Food was good and tasty.
