After two days of flights from US to Namibia, we needed a rest. Our stay at Rivendell was pre-arranged by Wild-Dog Safaris. We were very pleased with the selection. We were warmly greeted by the staff. We had a small en-suite room overlooking the small pool. The house is surrounded by lush, shady plants. It is in a very quiet... More

Over all a good place to stay, clean rooms, friendly staff, nice pool. Breakfast is a bit expensive and you will need a taxi to go into town. If you are looking for a place that is quiet and relaxing, this place is a good choice, if you like to be in the middle of things, you should look for... More

We used Rivendell as a base for our trip around Namibia. We travelled around Namibia and returned back to Rivendell 4 times throughout our trip. The staff were incredibly helpful in making our trip more comfortable and organized. We were able to leave our luggage there while we were away, arrange pick ups from various airports, and arrange fantastic packed... More

Our first trip to Namibia was DEFINITELY made much better by starting off here - looking at the exotic birdlife, relaxing by the pool and... More

Great staff. Good rooms. Entertaining people to mix and have breakfast with. Loved the two nights we spent here. More

We stayed in Rivendell for 2 nights in April and May 2011 and really enjoyed it- the place is clean, rooms are well decorated and fairly spacious, breakfast was delicious. Service was great and very helpful. All in all- very good value for money. As Windhoek is most often used as a base and first/ last stop in exploring Namibia,... More
