A real oasis deep in the desert of Namibia. This place has nice rooms with an airconditioner that works well, and that is a priceless thing in the summertime in this area. Very clean rooms and grounds, great dinners, lunch packs and breakfasts. The manager, Basil Calitz is very entertaining. This year he brought out a "DUPPA" which was some... More

A very comfortable base. Clean, spacious rooms with air-con. Fantastic swimming pool and Basil was in the process of upgrading the deck chairs. We enjoyed an excellent day out with Basil, where we were lucky to spot a desert elephant. Food was perfectly O.K. given the price your were paying and the service might have been slow at times, but... More

The pool is fantastic and we were happy with our room, right next to it! We weren't the only guests, so the four dilapidated deck chairs could not cater for all of the guests. Apart from the mediocre quality of the meals, the service was really the poorest we've experienced during our two-week trip in Namibia. The excursion, which costed... More

We love this place! My partner and I spent the night here to split up a long drive, and we had a great night at the Camp. It is quirky and fun -- with a smattering of locals hanging out at the bar who delight in conversation with anyone and everyone. Basil, the manager, was one of the most memorable... More

I stayed here in July 2008 so this review is a bit late. However, I wanted to note that Basil made our stay memorable. He has a colorful background and if get a chance to hear about it, it'll just add another warm layer to your Namibia experience. My friends and I spent 3 weeks driving throughout Botswana and Namibia... More

Nothing can substitute for attention to detail. Although recently renovated, the room had rusted door jam and a mouldy shower enclosure. The miner's concert hall is dirty and derelict sporting piles of table setting. There were suspicious trays of brown pellets at the kitchen door. The owner "Basil" while personable looked like a grubby prospector of the last century. On... More

just travelled namibia solo and the hilight of my tour was my stayat the brandberg rest camp, it outshone the etosha, the host basil was an amazing character, a gentleman, his knowledge of the damaraland area was second to none i would highly recomend the rest camp thank you . anthony cardiff wales

Must have been here at a bad time as my review doesn't seem to line up too well with other people's. Although the rooms are clean, the whole place feels as if it's slowly dying and is about to be reclaimed by the desert. The former miner's concert hall is derelict and dirty; the famous owner "Basil" was nowhere to... More

The b&b is quite basic but the rooms are nice and clean (and very pink :-), there is a huge pool and very friendly staff. The owners are really not of this world, at night we had dinner with German Schlagers in the background. It is very close to all the viewpoints so that’s perfect. Food is nothing memorable and... More
