Geschmackvolles Ambiente.

Die relativ nahe Lage zum Flughafen machen die Fram zu einem ausgezeichneten Beginn oder Schluss einer Rundreise. Ausgezeichnetes und sehr üppiges Frühstück in einem Geschmackvollem Ambiente. Die sehr große Farm lässt Tierbeobachtungen in natürlicher Umgebung zu.

Hat alles gepasst.

Wundervolles, ruhiges Natur-Chalet in traumhafter Landschaft

Schon der Weg zur Farm durch abwechslungsreiche Natur mit vielen Vogelsichtungen war toll. Mit der online- Beschreibung des Inhabers war es kein Problem die richtige Ausfahrt zu finden, ab der Autobahnabfahrt war die Farm gut ausgeschildert. Im Farm Gelände haben wir Giraffe, Impalas gesehen. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen, mit allen Infos versorgt und ein guter Plan zum Erreichen des Hippo Chalets gezeigt, damit war die Anfahrt kein Problem. Davor gabs einen leckeren Brownie und tollen Iced Latte;) Es gibt einen Pool und Rundum-Aussicht auf die Farm, Berge dahinter, wir entdeckten Oryx, Impalas, Paviane, auch viele Vögel und am morgen noch eine Art Drachen-Eidechse? (sehr bunt). Von hier starten auch die Wanderwege, für die wir leider keine Zeit mehr hatten. Hier ist alles groß und weitläufig und die Landschaft klasse. Zum Hippo- Chalet: wir hatten #1 und das Glück, dass der Fluss noch Wasser führte und somit die Hippos- mit Baby- direkt am Rand geschlafen haben, wir sie ohne Fernglas von der erhöhten Terrasse sahen. Auch beobachteten wir (Wasser)vögel, der African Fish Eagle hat gejagt, es kamen am Morgen sogar Wildbeast zum Trinken. Ein absolutes, ruhiges Natur-Paradies mit Tiergeräuschen. Wir waren begeistert! Das Chalet war groß, mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht, sehr sauber und ein großes, gemütliches Bett mit Moskitonetz. Es lag sogar Feuerholz auf einem Grill bereit oder man nutzt den Gasherd innen in der gut ausgestatteten Küche. Also kann man sich auch problemlos selbst versorgen. Wir hatten uns aber für das Dinner entschieden- lecker und reichhaltig. Zum Dinner fährt man von hier mit dem Auto, das war kein Problem, da man es nutzen kann, nach Tieren Ausschau zu halten, vor allem auf dem Rückweg war es spannend, wir haben einen Schakal gesehen, aber leider keinen Leoparden;) Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen, ein toller Abschied für unseren Urlaub mitten in herrlicher Natur mit vielen Tieren!

Es gibt nichts zu beanstanden, da es aber der letzte Abend unseres Urlaubs war, wären wir gerne gefragt worden, ob wir zum Dinner mit anderen Reisenden zusammen sitzen wollen. Es war natürlich trotzdem nett;)

Traditionelle Gestefarm, etwas in die Jahre gekommen

Düsternbrook,eine toll gelegene sehr traditionelle Gestefarm in Namibia. Schöne Zimmer, freundliches Personal und schöne Wanderwege. Schön waren die geselligen Runden an den Tischen beim Essen

Das Essen war eher etwas bescheiden.

Nette Umgebung aber sehr einfache Räumlichkeiten.

Die Lage ist gut, wenn man von Windhoek aus zurückfliegt. Die Möglichkeit, dort reiten zu können, macht es reizvoll. Tolles Frühstück.

Die Unterkunft war sauber aber sehr einfach. Mit ein bißchen Liebe und einer Renovierung wäre es sicher zu beheben.

Nice Old Farmhouse with comfortable rooms and excellent meals a short drive from Windhoek

Really nice facilities and comfortable rooms. Very good breakfast and dinner. Nice game drive that included local Hippos, Giraffes and many more animals.

You can get there with a 2nd but I highly recommend a 4x4.

Back to colonial German time

Mixed feelings - good food - extremely friendly and helpful staff - stunning location - house where diner was served felt like an museum, really something unique

- cleanliness… dining room windows were very dirty for instance and also in the room the bed linnen was not 100% clean - interior of the room was outdated. This would be ok if it was in good condition. But it is not. Dressoir is damaged, matras is very old. And a plastic chair inside a room is a no go for me.

Convenient place near Windhoek. Rooms are really outdated.

The oldest lodge in Namibia. Nice location near Windhoek.

Unfortunately an outdated place. Rooms need to be upgraded.

Great animal viewing in a quite magical location

Stayed in the rustic Hippo Chalet 2 and were entertained for hours by a family of hippos just outside. Giraffes, warthogs, baboons, etc etc along the road into the property. The chalet itself was comfortable though understandably basic. Breakfast at the main house was excellent with a comprehensive selection.

Google maps doesn’t think there is a route into the property because the road requires a couple of river crossings with no infrastructure. We had read advice from the property that a VW Polo with care would do it fine. Obviously this depends on river height so do check if you don’t have 4WD.

Superb

Breakfast was good. Location-wise, and the view. Food especially freshly baked bread, fruit salad (this was one of the best I had in Namibia over the last three years) was superb. The variety of mammals on the premises was impressive. We saw more than 10 different species including a white rhino and many different species of birds We stayed at chalets near the dam and we were greeted by more than 20 giraffes walking near by. Some of us opted to sleep on the rooftop with our sleeping bags under a clear sky with shimmering milky way. Very pleasant and wish to repeat it again. As well as to walk more distances within the vast farm grounds.

The receptionist did not warm us about the rivers we needed to cross to reach the farm grounds. One of our cars stuck in the first river and we had to call for a towing service to get it out. The farm charged one person one way 350 NAD for a ride to the farm. We also met with German tourists who came for a day trip in a taxi from Windhoek but encountered a similar problem (their taxi got stuck in the river) and the farm charged them the transport from that point to the farm as well. We joked about conspiracy. However all in all, including the adventure of trying to get the car out of the river, the entire experience was very exciting. We were in the wild nature so close to Windhoek. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Soul-regenenarating weekend away!

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL area, heard the river running the entire time we were there, so relaxing in the middle of nature! Staff was amazingly friendly and helpful, probably the best service that I have received ANYWHERE in Namibia.

There was a mix-up with our booking between booking.com and the property, but the staff was SUPER helpful. The tent can do with a bit of upkeep.

Poor

Leopard & hippo feedings were the highlights.

Our interaction with the receptionist was not pleasant, although she wasn't rude, she explained nothing regarding activities, meal times, bar facilities etc...I had to ask these basic questions,which should have been explained to us upon arrival. Received pool towels with holes in it. Had to search for pool lounger cushions after enquiring from the receptionist & only got pointed in a general direction, I would have preferred someone at least show me where it was in the storeroom, I don't mind putting it on the lounger myself. Dinner - was not asked how we preferred our meat cooked, everyone received the same, well done! Extremely hot (beginning of Jan) and the starter was a hot butternut soup - no other option available. Desert - dry vanilla cake & ice cream. No thought went in preparing a suitable dinner menu which cost more than N$1000 for 3 pax. Guests were seated at the same table for meals, very akward to share meals with complete strangers - no option available to be seated at your own table. We spend almost N$5000 at the property for a one-night stay (accommodation, activity & dinner) & expected better attention to detail & basic hospitality fundamentals. Not a good experience & it is a shame because the property is in a beautiful location.

A tranquil break away into nature

Location is very serene... The farm has a very beautiful scenery with plenty of activities... Staff are very helpful and were flexible with changing the menu and swift in changing accommodation due to maintenance... The cat feeding and horse riding were truly memorable experiences with staff dedicated to ensure you have the best possible experience...

Road not really suitable for small cars especially during rainy season. More variety with the vegetarian, fish and Non-alcoholic drink options.

Nice place to stay at the very beginning/end of your trip

We stayed 2 nights in the Hippo 1 chalet and it was great. The hippos were in the water in front of our chalet and towards the end of they day they came out to eat. It is a "self catering" chalet so be aware that you will need ot bring your own plates/cups etc. It was great having our dinner on the terrace and watching the hippos eat right in front of us. Driving to the lodge you will see plenty of wildlife (giraffes, worthogs etc.) The pool and bar area was a nice area as well.

Dinner was quite expensive for what you received. We did "unlimited cats" but you "just" feed one cheetah and one leopard.
