We stayed here for 2 days/nights Nov 2011 with 4 other friends. Our room was quite nice (room 13 I think, highly recommend, was nicer than our friends since they had a weird dripping noise both nights, possibly from the solar heated water on the roofs???), and I loved the stone walls of the shower and bathroom area. Lovely to... More

This was our first post Windhoek stop on our journey around Namibia. Getting there was also our first experience of long distance gravel roads. We arrived, after negotiating the 9km long drive, tired and with some trepidation as on first sight its not the most visually attractive lodge. All this was swiftly allayed. Our welcome was warm and my introductory... More

My wife and I spent two delightful nights at ZRL in the Tsaris Mountains of soutern Namibia. Two objections keep the rating at "very good" instead of "excellent." I'll get them out of the way before talking about the good stuff. First, by design, the WC in our otherwise beautiful room did not have a door. Definitely a negative. Second,... More

In the middle of a fantastic setting, far from everything, a superb place for enjoying holidays, and a good base for Sossusvlei, and walking trips in the canyon (the house dog loves them too, and will probably join you!). Friendly staff, excellent food, most welcome pool after a hot day At Sossusvlei. Recommended! PS: note that the entrance to Sossusvlei... More

I don't think that I have ever stayed anywhere quite as remote - when we left we travelled for nearly 2 hours before we saw another car on the (gravel) roads. The lodge is set 5kms off the gravel road up a track which involves crossing dry river beds, but we made it driving very cautiously in a small 2... More

An ideal location (for which you pay a premium) and the rooms were great. The newly built rooms give you a little more privacy and each have their own stoop/patio. Food at supper and breakfast was OK, but I would go here just for the cooking. More

We had a lovely time at ZRL. Stunning views from our room and the owner and employees made us feel like family. We had a great sundowner which was organized with other guests and the owners made us feel very welcome, eating dinner with us and sharing stories. We went on some great hikes and had lovely homemade food. Truly... More

It is worth the trek to get to this lodge and receive a warm welcome and a cold Windhoek beer on the front porch. The individual rooms were unique and spacious. The bathroom was constructed of stone...very beautiful. The hostesses were very accommodating and provided delicious meals, including vegetarian options for our daughter. We experienced one of the most breathtaking... More

Spent 3 days with Peter and Elke and were charmed by the location, the lodge and their hospitality. More like being part of a family - personal, friendly, helpful. If you want to chill out away from hustle and bustle - this is for you. The walking is great (one trail possibly needs better signage ;>)) with fascinating flora, fauna,... More
