Solitaire Roadhouse

Very basic, no toiletries in the room or hairdryer. Beds ok for 2 nights. Food touch and go, had fish cakes but they were still cold in the middle, they were refried. Schnitzel ok but tough. Pool very small, but it is the desert! Lots of house rules, like cant eat own food in room or beer they charge corkage. Drive to sossusvlei 2hours!

This review is regarding the camping facilities associated with the lodge. - the campsites were wide, open sandy campsites (some with roofed / covered facilities) -wildlife such as jackals, oryx and mongoose were spotted -toilet block was very dark at night -Good bar with great coffee with sofas and a large patio -nice for sundowners (likely the best sunset on our entire vacation) -fast Wifi -there is a close store (gas station) with snacks, just a short walk outside the camp -there is also a watering hole just beyond the bar that attracted oryx during our visit -you are able to use the pool which has several loungers -the pool is very small

Wonderful accomodation and very friendly and helpful staff (Tengani and Queen was really a breath of fresh air). After travelling those gravel roads, a dip in the pool and having a braai, was just what we needed. The aircon in the rooms was so welcome. Breakfast with nice coffee set us of for our travels again. Will definitely come back again!

I highly recommend the lodge. The rooms are spacious. The food is delicious. The staff is better than in a 5 star hotel. Stunning sunsets. Just a beautiful and very unique place. So peaceful. I would choose this lodge over any other in the area.

This lodge is ideal for your visit to Sossusvlei and the Namib Natural park. I drove from Windhoek airport on a rental car, driving on dirt roads and crossing a wonderful mountain pass before reaching here. This is one of the few places having a gas station, a restaurant, a bakery, a pool, a lodge, and a tire shop. I had to stay overnight as it is not possible to drive at night around here. The lodge was wonderfully well kept , neat and tidy. The room was large enough with good AC and WIFI. At night a buffet dinner and a local BBQ known as Braai is served. Dinner is not included in the room rent. The staff is wonderful and attentive. You have a good time. I had a flat tire and the shop did all it could to help me. In the morning breakfast is on the house. There is a souvenir store and the bakery is famous for its Apple Pies. The whole stop reminds me of Truck stops in the US. There are spectacular views of the nature around and you get to see a few animals around too.

We had a lovely 2 night stay here. The restaurant went out of their way to accommodate my dietary needs. It has a quaint decor and makes for a lovely stop over on the way to Sossusvlei. They have the famous bakery on site which opens early in the morning for delicious treats!
