"The owner, the staff, the food, the attention to detail and decor was AMAZING!"

"Sehr schšnes Anwesen, freundliche Inhaber, schšne GŠstehŠuser,
- religišse Musik zu FrŸhstŸck ist nicht fŸr jeden Gast erfreulich"

"The accommodation,food and surroundings were excellent!The only little problem was the air conditioning system,we felt it was not efficient to bring relieve from the heat.So we slept with open doors!Something you cannot do at any place!"

Hilda and Frikkie are warm and welcoming and take such care in everything they do - we loved it - thank you!
"

"Frikkie and Hilda are such relaxed and welcoming hosts. It all fits together to be the best place to stay in the Southern region of Namibia. Highly recommended.

"The accommodation, atmosphere and food were high class and excellent in every way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this guest house to anyone travelling in the area."

"The food was excellent well done!!!!

A very relaxing place to stay you will see me in the future."

"Wondelik, gasvry, netjies en kos uit die boonste rakke! "

"My best holiday ever! Kindest people with attention to detail. Alte Kalkofen is highly recommended."

"We were a large group of friends on a 4x4 trip. After 3 days of roughing it in the Desert - Alte Kalkofen lodge felt like heaven. The accommodation is superb - spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and not a detail missed. There was even Peaceful sleep in the room. Frikkie and Hilde are amazing ..."

"We were a large group of friends on a 4x4 trip. After 3 days of roughing it in the Desert - Alte Kalkofen lodge felt like heaven. The accommodation is superb - spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and not a detail missed. There was even Peaceful sleep in the room. Frikkie and Hilde are amazing hosts and their food is certainly fine dining in our books.

Would love to visit them again."

"Never judge things from the outside. When we first got there it was late and dark and we were a bit concerned, but our minds were blown away 5 minutes after our arrival.

"Never judge things from the outside. When we first got there it was late and dark and we were a bit concerned, but our minds were blown away 5 minutes after our arrival.

The rooms are simple yet extremely luxurious and the cleanliness, which was our main concern, is of the highest standards.

If that isn't enough, the food homemade by Hilde herself, is exquisite. Frikkie makes sure that everything else runs smoothly, and they both will go the extra mile to please you. Wonderful stay both thumbs up.

"What a wonderful experience! Everything is 5-star! From the friendly reception, the excellent dinner and breakfast, the clean white linen, the beautiful sunsets to the shower under the stars. We will definitely re-visit and can recommend to anyone!"

"Rated the hospitality 100%. Frikkie and Hilde are natural hosts and all their efforts seemed so effortless! The accommodation was very good and exceptionally clean and user friendly. We considered the establishment great value for money. "

"We came there without knowing what to expect on our road between Luderitz and Fish River Canyon.

"FANTASTIES, DIE MENSE WAS BAIE VRIENDELIK EN HET MENS OP HULLE HANDE GEDRA. ONS SAL ENIGE TYD WEER BY FRIKKIE EN HILDA AAN HUIS GAAN. DANKIE VIR DIE HEERLIKE TYD WAT ONS BY JULLE KON DEUR BRING"

"Excellent. We were very well received in this very nice lodge. Very well kept and clean, it's a great option for contemplating the Namibian landscape."

"Only 10 free-standing chalets. Not exactly luxurious, but certainly very acceptable: clean and comfortable. Pity there is no air conditioning. The restaurant alone is enough reason to visit - really excellent."

"We loved the stylish decor, the wonderfully comfortable beds and the delicious food. The location is beautiful, with starry skies at night, and deep peaceful silence. The hospitality was first class.

We will be back, and stay for longer!"

"What a wonderful interesting place to stay in Namibia. Accommodation and food excellent and the hosts could not have been friendlier or more helpful, even helped organize a spare tyre for our car without any fuss.

"What a wonderful interesting place to stay in Namibia. Accommodation and food excellent and the hosts could not have been friendlier or more helpful, even helped organize a spare tyre for our car without any fuss. The best Gemsbok steak I have ever tasted. The swim in the swimming dam was a real treat. Loved watching all the animals at the waterhole all through the night. So sorry we only spent one night. My husband had a wonderful mountain biking experience. We feel Alta Kalkofen is undersold. We will be back for sure."

"This was an excellent experience - we thought we have a self catering unit, fortunately we did not bought food. A small fridge in the room might be a good idea for cooldrink and cold water."

"We had a wonderful at the lodge. Frik and Hilda run an exceptional entity and they give it their all. I hope the standards set will continue to grow."

"After a day travelling from Springbok via the Fish River Canyon, we were exhausted and hoping for a perfect place to unwind...that is exactly what we found. Sadly we arrived after dark so we missed the sunset but the sunrise at the lodge the following morning was spectacular. The room was comfortable with rustic charm and the view of the watering hole was delightful. The hosts made us feel very welcome and shortly after we arrived, we were served a superb meal - the best meal I have had in a long while and certainly the best food I ate whilst in Namibia. Unfortunately, we had to leave early in the morning to continue our travels through Namibia so we didn't get the chance to sample the inviting looking pool. We will have to return again so we can spend more time relaxing at this wonderful lodge."

"We really enjoyed our stay. We were spoiled from the moment we arrived. The interior decor is very stylish and artistic. The food was excellent and also prepared and served by the owners themselves.

"Thank you We enjoyed our stay a lot. The rooms were beautiful and the meals the best. It felt as if we were at home."

"Beautiful, peaceful, amazing place in the middle of nowhere. Great stopover en route Luderitz.

We dined like royalty, compliments to the chef, and enjoyed the peace and quite and clearer-than-clear stargazing."
