Wolwedans - can't wait to go back...

I will let the pictures speak for them themselves - perfect service, immaculate food and a cosy layout created by separate lounging areas. The walkway up over the dunes to the individual lodges was lovely, and the pool decking was a lovely space to spend an afternoon... The view from every window and opening was breath taking...
I would suggest flying in - the drive was quite challenging even in a large 4x4 such as our Hilux. But we did see a pair of ostriches and their chicks running along the road in front of us, which was very special.
There are 10 separate individual huts and a small main complex of rooms linked by walkways. We had the second furthest hut from the lodge, and waking up every morning to that open view (the tent sides are left open at night as you snuggle in bed with a hot water bottle) was unforgettable. The entire hut is powered by solar power, so the staff leave a thermos of boiling water at the front door at sunrise, so you can make a cup of tea and lie in bed watching the sun come up. 2 days was not long enough, and neither of us wanted to leave.
I took some video as we were about to lie by the pool to give the sense of remoteness and beauty of being there.
