The Desert Homestead
The Desert Homestead is situated south
of Sesriem in an idyllic setting and a good location from which
to visit the sand dunes at Sossusvlei. The main central lounge and
dining area is in the old farmhouse, although meals are often served
on the veranda.
The Desert Homestead horse trails offer
a magical experience, allowing guests to explore the surrounding
grassy plains and ancient watercourses. Or you may prefer the more
simple pleasures of relaxing by the pool or in your room, perhaps
eating a light lunch in the coffee shop.
Sunset can be a humbling experience
at the Desert Homestead, as the days last rays of sun bathe the
rugged landscape in pastel hues. Whether you choose to watch from
the Homestead, from horseback or with a sundowner from the viewpoint,
you will be able to sample the farm fresh cuisine in the evening
by either dining at the farm house or cooking prepared braai packs
outside your chalet.
The Desert Homestead offers sixteen
rustic chalets, all built from local rock and blending in with the
environment. Inside they provide luxury, with large single or double
beds and en-suite bathroom with shower and toilet. The mosquito
nets render a cosy alcove feeling. The lights and fans in the guest
accommodation is powered by a bank of batteries, which are charged
by wind and solar power during daytime. All our guest amenities
(soaps, shampoo, body lotion etc.) are environmetally friendly.
Twelve of the chalets at the Desert
Homestead have two single beds each. Four chalets are family units
with four beds. |
