Solitaire Mountain Lodge

The place is very nice, very nice people and the decor is really good.

This is really desert place so only desert around this place. Very impressive especially during evening when looking arriving darkness and the sky. After renamed now its name is Solitaire Mountain Lodge. After arrival we have got welcome drinks, also coffee was served. We stayed two nights in family room for 4 adults. Nice room, enough space, also kettle and coffee / tea set offered inside the room. The whole staff was extremely helpful. The breakfast was for us absolutely enough, however adequate to the small size of this lodge and limited number of guests. even taking into account that the eggs dish is prepared following the exact order of each guest. There was instant coffee but it was the only one place we stayed during our one month trip in Africa where three types of milk were served (regular, almond and oat). And finally the most impressive – the meals served for lunch and dinner. For each day we have got different menus. We were able to order the meals between official lunch and dinner hours service, so we have got both lunch and dinner menu. We were asked if if we don't like some ingredient or spice, or if they shouldn't add something because everything is cooked on site. And these ingredients were added in really tasty and balanced way. So maybe strange – but in the middle of the desert, in the place where everything must by ordered by the staff in advance, we have got absolutely the best meals.

Good accommodation in the middle of the wilderness during low season, we had been the only guests. Makes dinner/breakfast a bit feeling lonely. Therefore, for dinner we went to the main lodge (at the fuel station, approx 6km from the Solitaire Desert Farm). The toaster for the bread was defect, made black tiles only... Otherwise: very nice, very quite, great star-gazing. Rooms are very spacious. Clean pool. Missing the owner to say "hello" (was on premise). Warhogs seen at the water-hole.
