The staff are all kind, helpful and happy to answer all questions. Whilst driving to the lodge we already spotted heaps of animals like giraffes, warthogs, all kind of birds, baboons, Kudus, springboks etc., so driving slowly pays off. Breakfast was delicious and the lady servicing us was an absolute gem. We’d come back for the room, view and the animals we saw, when driving through the park by ourselves. ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Toll für ein paar Tage Die Farm liegt wunderschön.

Beim check-in erfuhren wir, dass unsere Unterkunft noch 11 km entfernt war, mit unserem kleinen VW nicht zu bewältigen. So waren wir gezwungen, einen Aufpreis zu zahlen, damit wir direkt hier bleiben konnten. Eine Info diesbezüglich wäre von Vorteil gewesen. Das Zimmer war sehr schön, nur der Fußboden staubig ##### Manuela Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### James 15 Jan 2022 Liked: Staff & service #### Could really use a good cleaning It is the oldest private game preserve, and it shows. Wrinkled pictures in frames filled with dead bugs, the yard needs a serious clean. That being said the bar/dinner area is quite lovely. Game drive vehicles are ancient. (One hour drive is R450, which seems really steep). I stayed at one of the ‘chalets’. As basic as it gets. Choose between sweltering or being devoured by mosquitoes (how about a net?). These are about 3km from the reception along atrocious ‘roads’ and (maybe just me….) the handrawn map got me disturbingly lost. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/145F7B5FCA8D2235783CF6E5FB45C3BB0E5758EF1642523931696.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 21 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mitten in der Natur bei Windhoek Diese Anlage ist außergewöhnlich...... man kann es einfach haben, mitten in der Natur, oder auch in der Nähe zum Swimmingpool, der Bar oder dem Restaurant bzw. Frühstücksraum. Sehr leckeres Essen zusammen mit anderen Gästen (wenn man das mag) Auch der Inhaber setzt sich dazu und erzählt etwas über die Geschichte des Hauses. Dank unseres 4 X 4 Fahrzeugs konnten wir die älteste Guestlodge Namibias auch gut erreichen. Es war ein sehr schöner und interessanter Aufenthalt hier. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 14 Jan 2020 Disliked: Staff & service The staff are friendly .

November 2019) im Felsenhaus Nr.1\. Ein Bungalow mit insgesamt zwei Zimmern und jeweils eigener Terrasse. Von der Terrasse ein wunderbarer Blick hinab auf den (trockenen) Flusslauf. Dort gibt es schon einige Tiere zu sehen. Gamedrive und Fütterung der Geparden und des Leoparden waren ein Erlebnis. Man kann schöne Wanderungen unternehmen- sollte sich aber selbst (!) gut an der Rezeption informieren. Sonst steht man womöglich unvermittelt vor den Nilpferden. Am Hippopool befinden sich auch zwei Chalets. Diese sind ca 5 km vom Farmhaus entfernt und liegen wirklich in der Wildnis. Dorthin sollte man nur mit einem guten 4X4 Auto fahren. Das (wirklich sehr leckere) Abendessen nehmen die Gäste gemeinsam (an einem Tisch) ein. Wir fandenˋs gemütlich und es gab angeregte Gespräche. Der Hausherr gesellte sich nach dem Essen dazu. So erfuhr man u.a. allerlei interessantes zum Leben auf der Farm. Uns gefiel besonders die authentische Stimmung und der Umgang mit den durchweg äußerst freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Menschen auf der Farm. ##### Marc Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 20 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Unterkunft ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen..

Hippos, Rhinos, Giraffen, Elen-Antilopen, Oryx und und und. Bei Wanderungen oder durch Fahrt auf eigene Faust zum Hippo-See selbst entdecken oder per Jeep-Safari. Ein Muss: Fütterung von Leoparden und Geparden, hautnah, ohne Zaun dazwischen. Reitpferde, aber auch freilebende Pferde, die sich bei der Farm aufhalten. Rodney, klasse gemacht. Sehr interessant mit Farmbesitzer Johann zu reden. Duesternbrook ist eine der ältesten Farmen Namibias. Toller Blick von den Felsenhaus-Zimmern auf das Flussbett. Einfach super zum Einstieg oder noch besser am Ende der Reise. Wir waren am Ende unserer Reise geflasht, obwohl wir schon so viele Tierbegegnungen erlebt hatten: man kommt den Tieren, die die Menschen gewohnt sind und daher nicht sehr scheu sind, ungewöhnlich nah!! ##### Josef Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tolle Lage, schön und sauber, warm.

But no food available till 7:30 pm. The logical thing to do was to drive 18km back up the road, cross the B1 and visit Okapuka Ranch which offers excellent food, drinks and accommodation at reasonable prices. And superior game drives. I won't be revisiting Dusternbrook again. There is a much better option if you turn right instead of left as you travel north from Windhoek. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andre 18 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Urlaub in der Natur Die Farm war schön man ist herzlich empfangen worden.

The nature was really nice and we enjoyed the game drive in the evening with a nice guide. All in all, the farm and its accomodations/ facilities are a bit rundown. The pool for example is not clean and the loungers pretty old and uncomfortable. Dinner and breakfast were okay but not more. Staff is barely seen and we missed real hospitality. All in all, it is close to the airport but we know much better lodges. ##### A.

Schon auf dem Weg zur Farm haben wir viele Tiere gesehen und haben das sehr genossen. Die Wassergräben unterwegs waren eine kleine Herausforferung für unseren Wagen. Aber es ist es wert. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit, insbesondere bei der Cats-Tour. Bringt also unbedingt etwas Zeit mit, um die Cats-Tour zu machen und die Umgebung zu erkunden. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### james, Baltimore, MD 14 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This is a lovely place.

We did not use the lodge but a chalet, a few km.s away. The Chalet Hippo 2 is simple but really very good. Clean, good warm water, solar lighting and an excellent fire pit and bbq spot with view over the lake. One can even sit on the roof. No complaints about the chalet. The lodge was used by us for dinner and breakfast. Both are quite pricey. The dinner is a common dinner and you basically share table. Be one time! The service during breakfast and dinner is very bad. All staff seem to hide in the kitchen, so if for instance bread runs out, you have to go and find them! Food is good, but not excellent. On the last night we decided better not to join the shared dinner and make dinner ourselves, while w could hear, but not see, that the five hippos were coming around us to shore to have their vegetarian dinner. Summarized: Chalets recommended, restaurant not recommended. ##### Jacqui & Rob ### 2/10 Terrible #### Maria Lundkvist, Sweden 5 Feb 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Levde inte upp till det som utlovades Vi läste på Hotel.com om Düsternbrook Guest Farm och tyckte det lät intressant. Vi bokade rum för 2 nätter men lämnade redan efter första natten. Det visade sig att det rum som vi bokat var en charlot (läs stenhydda) som låg 5 km från huvudbyggnaden. Vägen dit var en grusväg och det var tur att vi hade en hög 4 hjulsdriven bil. Det var ok att köra dit på dagen men lite värre på kvällen då det var mörkt ute. Bekvämligheterna i charloten var toalett och dusch. Elen var ett bilbatteri som drev 3 små lampor. När vi kom tillbaka efter middagen på kvällen var hyddan extremt varm vilket gjorde det svårt att sova. På väggen satt 3 st ödlor så är man rädd för småkryp ska man inte bo här. Middagen på kvällen serverades i huvudbyggnaden och vid vårt bord satt ägarinnan och någon anhörig till henne, 4 tyska gäster samt jag och min man. Då vi inte talar tyska hade vi ingen möjlighet att delta i konversation runt bordet. Ägarinnan var nonchalant och försökte inte involvera oss på något sätt. De bilder som finns på Hotel.com stämmer inte med verkligheten. Poolen är inte fräsch, solsängarna med till madrasser har sett sina bästa dagar för flera år sedan. Några bilder från charloten finns inte, bara fina bilder från rummen i huvudbyggnaden. Enda behållningen för oss från detta ställe är att vi såg giraffer och gnuer på vägen till huvudbyggnaden. Vårt råd är: kan du tyska perfekt och vill bo i ödemarken bland småkryp är detta stället för dig, till er andra: hitta ett bättre ställe. ##### Maria Lundkvist ### 6/10 Okay #### Percy , Utrecht 15 Jan 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Erg afgelegen! Toen wij aankwamen bleek onze kamer (hippo) al vergeven en kregen wij een kamer die 5 kilometer verder was gelegen.De kamer (of huisje) bleek ook nog eens via een moeilijk te berijden weg bereikbaar. Tijdens het afrekenen stond het ontbijt erbij terwijl dit incl is. Na wat gesteggel is dit uiteindelijk eraf gehaald maar wel lastig. ##### Percy ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not close to beach but recommenable I no bad experience the people are good very friendly and accommodative ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Odette, Zimbabwe 2 Sept 2016 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Complete disregard for our safety Before flying to Windhoek I called Dustenbrook to advise we would arrive late and to ask directions. Nobody could help me over the phone. On arrival Bidvest, Wilderness and I tried calling, no answer, it was late and I was travelling on my own with 2 children aged 6 and 10, I set the GPS for Okhandja hoping I would see a sign. After 70km, in pitch darkness and heavy road works, I was about to turn back to Windhoek I saw the Dusternbrook sign, in through a Poultry Farm. The security guard opened the gate, I could not see any signs, it was total darkness and he told me to go straight. New to Namibian roads, been in the country for 2 hours, I headed off on the gravel road, for what seemed like ages. I arrived at a closed gate, no sign for Dusternbrook, so I kept on the road as it bore right. After a few minutes of the road narrowing and getting sandy, I decided I will turn around, and couldnt, I was stuck in Sand. Tried calling, no answer, my children crying. Around 9.30pm I got through and advised Dustenbrook I was stuck. I was picked up around 11pm. In the morning, in front of guests, Johan the very rude owner advised me it was my fault I got stuck and I must find my own way out the sand. I called Zenia at Bidvest who was shocked no-one would help me, she called Johan, he told her he called his lawyer and will not help us. Bidvest came from Okhandja to push us out the sand. At dinner that night Johan never asked if we were ok. They charged us for rescuing us at nite. ##### Odette ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Gardenia Beach Hotel - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alanya-Hotels-Gardenia-Beach-Hotel-All-Inclusive.h11571621.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Lancaster London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Royal-Lancaster-London.h518026.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Erawan National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Erawan-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6119938-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Boathouse on the Lake](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Boathouse-On-The-Lake.h59651082.Hotel-Information) > > [Turing College - University of Kent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Turing-College-University-Of-Kent.h9842642.Hotel-Information) > > [Rob Roy Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-Rob-Roy-Hotel.h9398900.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Avenida Family Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Golden-Avenida-Family-Suites.h19483453.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Conakry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Conakry-Hotels.d856.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hardwick Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockton-On-Tees-Hotels-Hardwick-Hall-Hotel.h806184.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Sands Hide Away](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Candolim-Hotels-Silver-Sands-Hide-Away.h5410461.Hotel-Information) > > [Halley Hotel & Apartments Affiliated by Meliá](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benidorm-Hotels-Halley-Hotel-Apartments-Affiliated-By-Melia.h56968421.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ventnor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ventnor-Hotels.d5612.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [King's Cross Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Kings-Cross-Hotel.h4460498.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Cork (ORK) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ork/lhr/cork-to-london) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Lesvos (MJT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/mjt/london-to-mytilene) > > [flights from tan son nhat intl airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/sgn/flights-from-tan-son-nhat-intl-airport) ### Cars > [Car hire in Sidari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Sidari.d6051477.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Airdrie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Airdrie.d602314.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-LIsle-Sur-La-Sorgue.d6047081.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Koh Lipe Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koh-Lipe.d6125837.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [The Rows of Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-Rows-Of-Chester-Chester.d6174701.Attraction) ### General
