Overall Ratings & Reviews Vingerklip Lodge

Truly unique

Amazing views !

Great property with outstanding views of the area! Breakfast and dinner were both outstanding.

Fabulous place. Run on solar power. Great room and balcony/outside space. Staff are all very helpful. Special shout out to Steph for helping us book activities before we arrived. Dinner at the Eagles Nest is a must. Views are worth the climb!

This is a wonderful property and hotel. We stayed on top of the plateau in an incredible cottage called “Heaven’s Gate”. It is a bit of a trek to get to and from but worth every bit of the effort. Has a lovely wood fire heated spa, total seclusion, and incredible outlook. There is also a smaller restaurant on top of the plateau which we ate at each night. The hotel at ground level is also terrific.

Loved the view of the waterhole from the really comfortable room.

This was by far my favourite place we stayed in Namibia. The rooms, location and food were all spectacular and the value for money was great, I found the quality to be better than other places we stayed that were double the price. I would recommend people don't make the same mistake we made and stay more than 1 night! I would also recommend requesting to book dinner on top of the cliff on one occasion.

Setting amazing. Good walking trails and going up Eagles Nest for sunset amazing.Good wifi.Nice pools. Food good but limited choice for non meat eaters. As was half board suggest any non meat eaters inform lodge in advance.

Fantastic lodge - beautiful setting, clean, comfortable, fantastic layout, friendly staff and great location.

Very unique stay. We booked heavens gate and eagles nest restaurant is a must. Be prepared to walk up the mountain to reach your room and restaurant. Truly an amazing experience.

An amazing experience, very nice hosts and personnel, stunning views

Lovely place and location. The staff is amazing. Food was great. Beautiful grounds and views all around. Nice walks and make sure you reserve the Eagle's Nest for dinner, amazing. They even washed our car.

The highlight of our trip, Eagle nest is a must try experience and food was delicious

Great staff. Upgraded our rooms to let our family spread out. Walk to eagles nest is worth it, but be careful of drinking too much because you have to walk down again after dark. Beautiful place with great hosts.

Vingerklip Lodge is a unique, memorable and eclectic place to visit. The views from the chalets are some of the best you will see in Africa, food is of a good standard but the property is elevated by the friendliness and flexibility of the staff. The assistance given to my 81 year old mother was appreciated. Even through very unfit, the climb up the metal staircase to the plateau above the property was a great experience. We were concerned about the lack of air conditioning between 4.00am and 10.00am after 37c days however did not find this a issue. The property does need some updating in the rooms but as covid has hit small business hard, its difficult to criticise, as none were deal breakers. Its also not a good property for people with mobility difficulty as there are many steep slopes and stairs within the hotel property. Overall, I would definitely highly recommend Vingerklip Lodge to anyone travelling in the area for the service, views and experience. After a few trips to Namibia, it may now be my favourite lodge.

Remarkable Beauty on a Vast Scale!

Beautiful location! Stephanie, manageress, was friendly, helpful and hospitable!! Refreshing pools! Rooms need some updating with improved septic systems. Chef was exceptional! Will definitely stay in the future again!

No air conditioning but they are fixing that.

The environment here is surreal! What a gorgeous stay! Adorable (large) chalet, with own patio, looking onto watering hole! They claimed there weren't many animals but we saw at least 1 giraffe and some others. Dinner at Eagles Nest was just incredible! But even if you can't get a table (seats 20), you can walk up there (and you must) for sunset, a drink, and the view. One of our favorite Namibia experiences. Great little pool, wonderful cake (available with complimentary tea and coffee all day). Wifi only in reception area. BUT - no screens on windows so didn't want to leave them open. Room has ac but working on being off grid so solar can't run it yet. Fan and open windows would've been fine. But power went out in whole place for at least 4 hours in the middle of the night, so no fan either. Way too hot to sleep.

Amazing location with friendly staff - well worth the effort to get there!
