All about the view

The positioning of the lodge is its defining freaturr as the views are spectacular and available from every room and the main building. The quality of the food was high with a set menu and 'fine dining' feel. The track up to the lodge is steep and a 4x4 is needed if you don't take the lodge's lift. The activities offered are a little limited and at the upper end of the prices of other lodges. The overall value for money is less than some lodges, but if you like views it's worth it.

Amazing views at the lodge, and amazing activities. We went on the rhino tracking activity and it was incredible: we saw a rhino mom and her baby, and we actually followed them on foot for a little while. We also loved the guided walk & sundowner drive, which both had unbelievable views. Even sitting on the patio at the lodge, the views were stunning. Highly recommend this place. Only thing to be aware of is that the internet doesn’t work in the individual rooms, only at the main lodge (and even there it’s spotty). However, with such views you don’t need internet!

Views for days

The most amazing view of the valley! Amazing food! Amazing service! Pro or con depending on what type of traveler you are: extremely limited wifi and power plugs, a very steep ascent to get to the property (we had a 4WD but if you don’t they will help you get to the lodge)

Superb hotel!

This is an excellent place to rest and recuperate between etosha and skeleton coast park. The view is amazing. The staff is friendly and very helpful. This is also an initiative by an npo so you are helping to local community by staying here as well. The room is beautiful, cozy and just fantastic! No power outlet in the room (because the lodge is next to the cliff!) But you can charge your electronics at the reception. The check in was a positive experience. Theres transfer up the steep slope to the lodge from the parking lot. They have welcome drink and the staff will walk you through the place. Free breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner come with the charge makes it super worth it! The staff will also sing and dance to welcome you during dinner. Theres a communal staff tip box at reception so you dont have to tip everyone separately. We highly recommend this place and will definitely come back if we go to Namibia again!

Fantastic lodge in a breathtaking location.

We stayed here for 2 nights and it was amazing. The pictures don't do the lodge justice. It's in a stunning location and the staff are awesome. They even sang for us one night. The guided walks, tracking and drives were amazing and we wish we had stayed for 3 nights rather than 2. The food was good, and the WiFi was patchy (restricted to 150mb per session). We stayed in the family room which was fantastic value for 4 people, however, it's worth noting that the two bedrooms and bathroom are open ceiling, so they have no privacy (hence family).

We booked a room for 3 adults, but got a very small double room with a extra bed , a very small one, more like a kids bed and no mosquitoe net for the extra bed. The food was very simple. The view was lovely.

All you need is a mosquito net!

Grootberg lodge was our 2 nights' stop from two long days of driving. However, we spent two sleepless nights fighting against mosquitoes....! No matter how much I could spray myself with repellent, they kept coming back biting and flying by my ears! It was an absolute nightmare. All they needed was a mosquito net, like all the other places where we stayed, much eco friendly than the spray repellent.
