Nice, beautiful, too far from the border, bad road.
The unit is located in a fantastic location, but the dirt road to get there is challenging when you drive a car that is not a van. The water wasn't hot either, but after I let them know that this was a problem, it was quickly looked into. We arrived there very late in the evening and the hostess stayed awake to receive us kindly despite the late hour. The view is amazing over the Orange River and I will definitely try to book a river view unit next time. We did look for a place just through the border and didn't realize it was so far from the border, but for a holiday destination I would definitely recommend it.

Bonny, dankie julle was pragtige gaste en dankie vir jou terugvoering. 'n Spesiale dankie dat julle jul eenheid netjies agtergelaat het.
Die pad was weliswaar op sy slegste, en is eers laasweek pragtig geskraap. Ek sal enige tyd plekke nader aan die grenspos aanbeveel.
Bonny, hoop ons sien julle gou weer vir 'n heerlike wegbreek uitspan vakansie!

Quiet and secluded.
Good communication with friendly owner from day one. Accommodation has everything needed and tidy with a nice air conditioner which was needed for our February stay. Our place of residence had a nice braai area and we could buy wood there. Wifi reception was good. For those who appreciate the natural beauty of that area it will be a delightful escape. At the entrance to the Namabieb Nature Reserve. Road is rough in some places but those who know the Richtersveld's roads will not find it strange. Won't just drive the road with a small car. Especially 4x4 guys will find this place ideal.
