Les Lodges à Grootfontein

"Ghaub is an exceptional property, situated in its own nature conservatory and on the site of an old mission. There is a lot of history in the property, accompanied by an old graveyard and rock etchings dating back to some of the earlier San inhabitants. Take the opportunity and go for long, relatively easy walks and you will be rewarded with a multitude of wildlife sightings of virtually every kind. Accommodation is in three blocks of farmhouse-style rooms, surrounded by large airy verandas, lovely to enjoy with a long, cold drink. There are also three seemingly well appointed campsites for those wanting to brave a slightly wilder accommodation option. Certainly a property we will return to time and time again."

"The focus of the property is on conservation, which is fantastic - BUT - the gardens need some basic maintenance, for example cutting away dead branches to enhance the views and facilitate keeping the grass under the trees shorter - they are currently perfect for a variety of dangerous snakes. Similarly, the map provided indicated some SAN etchings, but the trail is long since overgrown and impossible to find. Unfortunately, the food, while simple and plentiful, lets the entire property down - combinations are strange and basic food is unseasoned - perhaps the chef was away or the cook simply needs some basic instruction - we would far rather have self-catered."
