Hobatere lodge

"Located on the western boundary of Etosha National Park, the lodge offers an authentic bush experience surrounded by stunning landscapes and incredible wildlife sightings. The drive from the gate to the lodge takes about 20 minutes along a bumpy road, but it’s well worth it — we spotted zebras, antelopes, and other wildlife along the way. Upon arrival, we were greeted by an elephant making its way to the waterhole — an unforgettable welcome and the perfect introduction to the lodge. We enjoyed an amazing dinner with a stunning view, which made the experience even more special. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay, and the food was excellent, offering great variety and generous portions."

"The rooms were modest and comfortable; however, I would have appreciated better lighting, as one bulb for the entire room was not quite sufficient."

"The location from the lodge is absolutely stunning and the place is runned by locals. We had the most amazing Game Drive."

"The rooms could benefit from a renovation and a bit more comfort."

"Lovely waterholes right next to the swimming pool. Lovely staff. Rooms nice enough but no air conditioning. Great game drive saw lions."

"No air conditioning but there is a fan."

"Friendly staff, night game drive and excellent service and food"

"Aucun."

"We liked views on the waterhole, the restaurant and the food. We did the night drive and saw 2 lions with 5 cubs very close next to the car and a leopard. Very friendly staff, very clean. Beautiful concession."

"For the amount paid the rondavel is a bit basic and dated.."

"Very well appointed chalets. Beautiful main building with a view deck. Dinner was brilliant. Staff super friendl and helpful, nice boma fire in the evening."

"Bathroom a bit on the small side, seems they have a bit of problems with the sewage."

"We had a warm welcome and all staff are very friendly. The room is in small separate chalet a short walk from the main building. Beds were comfortable and mosquito nets provided. Toiletries were good quality. Breakfast has a reasonable selection. Evening meals were excellent, well prepared and nicely presented. The restaurant and terrace are nice spacesoverlooking the reserve. The game drive was very enjoyable and the guide knowledgeable."

"The bathroom had a slight drain smell throughout, not too much but noticeable. Toiletries in the shower were in a glass bottle, which fell and smashed dangerously. Towels vould have been more luxurious. Lighting in the room is quite dull, although it is understood that power is perhaps limited. There were some holes in the mosquitos nets. Internet is only available in the main building and is very poor. For the reletively expensive price these things should could have been better, but overall they are minor and did not detract from the peace and beauty of the place."

"An amazing place to stay. We used it as we were travelling, but another time we would spend time there. We loved everything about it. It is community run, the food is lovely - a talented chef. Martin the guide is to be commended for his dedication to the concession - so knowledgable. Highly recommend."

"A little bit of maintenance needs doing around the room but not enough to stop me giving it 10."

"Friendly and efficient staff. Meals were very good. Outdoor veranda facilty to view watering holes were tops. Game drives were great as was the guide."

"No fridge in units."

"The property is an a great location, you get to drive through the private game reserve up as you arrive which we found exciting. The lodge is also close to Etosha National Park- Galton Gate making it accessible to do day trips to the National park. The staff were really friendly, we particularly enjoyed the afternoon game drive and the driver was so lovely- telling us interesting facts, stories and providing great drinks and snacks. This was the best drive during our stay in Namibia. The food was so good and the rooms were comfortable. The look out onto the waterhole and the outdoor area was great."

"The WiFi only worked in communal areas and it did not last for long before it ran out which was frustrating in an area with limited signal. Other than this the stay was perfect."
