Fabulous place. Run on solar power. Great room and balcony/outside space. Staff are all very helpful. Special shout out to Steph for helping us book activities before we arrived. Dinner at the Eagles Nest is a must. Views are worth the climb!

This is a wonderful property and hotel. We stayed on top of the plateau in an incredible cottage called “Heaven’s Gate”. It is a bit of a trek to get to and from but worth every bit of the effort. Has a lovely wood fire heated spa, total seclusion, and incredible outlook. There is also a smaller restaurant on top of the plateau which we ate at each night. The hotel at ground level is also terrific.

Loved the view of the waterhole from the really comfortable room.

This was by far my favourite place we stayed in Namibia. The rooms, location and food were all spectacular and the value for money was great, I found the quality to be better than other places we stayed that were double the price.
I would recommend people don't make the same mistake we made and stay more than 1 night! I would also recommend requesting to book dinner on top of the cliff on one occasion.

Setting amazing. Good walking trails and going up Eagles Nest for sunset amazing.Good wifi.Nice pools. Food good but limited choice for non meat eaters. As was half board suggest any non meat eaters inform lodge in advance.

Lovely place and location. The staff is amazing. Food was great. Beautiful grounds and views all around. Nice walks and make sure you reserve the Eagle's Nest for dinner, amazing. They even washed our car.

Great staff. Upgraded our rooms to let our family spread out. Walk to eagles nest is worth it, but be careful of drinking too much because you have to walk down again after dark.
Beautiful place with great hosts.

Vingerklip Lodge is a unique, memorable and eclectic place to visit. The views from the chalets are some of the best you will see in Africa, food is of a good standard but the property is elevated by the friendliness and flexibility of the staff. The assistance given to my 81 year old mother was appreciated. Even through very unfit, the climb up the metal staircase to the plateau above the property was a great experience.
We were concerned about the lack of air conditioning between 4.00am and 10.00am after 37c days however did not find this a issue.
The property does need some updating in the rooms but as covid has hit small business hard, its difficult to criticise, as none were deal breakers. Its also not a good property for people with mobility difficulty as there are many steep slopes and stairs within the hotel property.
Overall, I would definitely highly recommend Vingerklip Lodge to anyone travelling in the area for the service, views and experience. After a few trips to Namibia, it may now be my favourite lodge.

One of the nicest places we have ever been to in Namibia. Great bungalows with a view, really great food and an amazing viewpoint on the mountaintop. The two pools however did not look very inviting because the water wasn't clear.

We stayed in the suite. The views were absolutly stunning! You could even enjoy the views while taking a shower. It has a small bath attached to the room. That was a bit cold, and it's not a swimming pool. But still, it was nice to sit in it for a little while. The terrace has a table, chairs, and sunbeds. The bed is big and we had a good sleep in it. The chef in Eagles Nest prepared us something vegetarian on request. It was very good. The room is situaded on a mountain, so it's a long walk up (about 15 minutes), but our suitcases were brouhgt with a cable carrier. We could also have breakfast in Eagles Nest, so we didn't have to go down and up again to the restaurant.
5.0
We had the heavens gate cottage on the mountain. Supercool views , total privacy.
Should have stayed longer then 1 night.

The environment here is surreal! What a gorgeous stay! Adorable (large) chalet, with own patio, looking onto watering hole! They claimed there weren't many animals but we saw at least 1 giraffe and some others. Dinner at Eagles Nest was just incredible! But even if you can't get a table (seats 20), you can walk up there (and you must) for sunset, a drink, and the view. One of our favorite Namibia experiences. Great little pool, wonderful cake (available with complimentary tea and coffee all day). Wifi only in reception area. BUT - no screens on windows so didn't want to leave them open. Room has ac but working on being off grid so solar can't run it yet. Fan and open windows would've been fine. But power went out in whole place for at least 4 hours in the middle of the night, so no fan either. Way too hot to sleep.

At the surface it looks like a nice place. The necessary ingredients are there. Great area with amazing views. But alike other places in Namibia, real hospitality is lacking. The guy at the checkin was everything except for welcoming and enthusiastic. They have a great restaurant on top of the mountain which the guy actually recommended, following with a statement that no bookings were possible since there was no room anymore?!! WEIRD. The staff in general was a bit weird and absent. They never passed buy to ask whether we cared for a drink or proactively talked to us. Not even in the bar area, let alone at the pool area. They don't cater specifically for vegetarians, so there was not a lot of choice since evening dinner was a buffet. This was actually nicely solved with the lady in charge (Rosa?). During this buffet staff members were cleaning and closing up while people were still eating. This is unacceptable and very unwelcoming. The room was nice, but not very clean. There were spiderwebs hanging from the painting and both mugs in the bathroom had three dead bugs in them. You could see it was from a while ago seeing the dust in there. Amenities could use an upgrade. The view from the room is great and they had little cure critters calmly eating the plants on the terrace. So management/owners.... train your staff properly. Your peers at other countries in Southern Africa are performing way better regarding hospitality.

From arriving to departure we were enthusiastic about this lodge. Welcome coffee and refreshment. Very nice and comfortable hut including terrace with Vingerklip view. A very special dinner place in Eagles nest. We enjoyed our (too short) stay. Would stay at least two nights next time.

magical night with a wonderful dinner in the eagle nest (on the top of the moutain !), the sunset was simply one of the most beautiful thing I witnessed. the room is very nice and has a view on the valley. Isolated but for a reason, worth a visit!

This is a beautiful lodge with elegant and romantic rooms. There are two nice pools and a stairway to climb a rock where some eagles Have their nest (up there, there is The honeymoon suite that is just amazing). Spectacular location and view

Old facilities not renovated for quite some time.
The area and landscape are very nice but the hotel is full of "mountain mice" everywhere.
We have seen mice poo close to the breakfast main table.

I stayed here en route to the Skeleton Coast. I picked it at random from the offers in the area which were fairly limited. As it turned out I made an incredibly lucky choice.
The location might seem a little odd initially - about 15km down a gravel road from the C39. It's actually incredible - being a little past the Ugab Terrace which is (I learned) something of an attraction of itself.
The lodge sits at the base of a sandstone massif (?) in a broad, fairly flat valley with some very dramatic views. The views alone were worth the trip.
My room was effectively half a thatched bungalow. Super comfortable bed and all very clean and private. There was a nice outside deck area where you can sit and watch the sunrise and sunset over the valley.
The main lodge has an excellent bar and restaurant. I did only visit the restaurant for breakfast which was very good. For dinner I visited the Eagle's Nest restaurant which is on top of the massif. The views were simply increible, enhanced by a free lightning show after sunset.
I was incredibly impressed with Vingerklip. I'd been in Etosha for 3 days where you are effectively car bound. It was nice to go for a short walk around the massif and get back on my feet. I understand there are game on the property although I only saw the one giraffe well off in the distance. There were plenty of antelope spoor on my walk.
Staff were great. Location is great. Value for money is incredible.
I hope to go back, that's the best I can say.
