River Crossing Lodge is a rest for your soul. Magnificent views, excellent food, nice and comfortable rooms.
I enjoyed the firm bed and the option to book with their mouth-watering dinner included. I enjoyed walking around on the property and would highly recommend if you are in the area.

If you want to start your Namibia holiday straight after landing, this is a good place to start. Only 8 mins drive to Windhoek, it has stunning views from almost anywhere on the property, friendly staff, good food (dinner and breakfast). Visits from Cody the cat was a bonus.

Very nice location with great views: either towards the hills or towards the city. Great and friendly service with a smile. Rooms are well done with space for luggage. A small personal patio (or stoep as they call it) with comfortable chairs when used with the cushions from the inside chairs.

This is a unique place to stay and enjoy the true Namibian experience. The servers are quite attentive and friendly. The breakfast buffet is satisfying. Having an evening meal outside and looking the lights of Windhoek is a must thing.

Great location for the airport. About 20 mins by taxi/shuttle. Great views. Evening meal was excellent but choice limited to a set menu of one! Room was very comfortable. Good views from patio and restaurant. I’d definitely recommend

The view from this property, the nice rooms with the patios to enjoy the view and peace, the amazing food and wonderful staff as well as beautiful overall facility and pool area are some of the main factors I liked this hotel so much. The homemade bread is a total winner and the dinner was absolutely deliciously the service impeccable and set the tone for our trip. Recommend staying here and will be staying here again on my next visit.

A beautiful lodge with very kind and helpful staff. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the food is very good (the dinner set menu was excellent!). A major highlight is the sunset view—simply amazing. Having two swimming pools is a great bonus. Very good value for money.
Important Tip: Do not rely solely on Google Maps for directions as it is currently incorrect. Be sure to check the driving directions sent by the hotel (they usually send them a few days before arrival) to ensure you find the lodge easily. Would definitely stay here again!

A great place to stay near Windhoek
A perfect place to stay after a long overnight flight. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were comfortable and quiet. Restaurant meals were lovely - tasty and very well cooked. We had an excellent night's sleep and were sorry that our plans meant that we could not stay longer.

A nice lodge, with a beautiful view
A nice lodge, composed of cottages in the middle of nature, with two beautiful swimming pools and also a restaurant open air. We recommend it, it's close to Windhoek and also practical if you arrive or depart from Hosea Kutako Airport

Perfect relaxation destination
I stayed at the River Crossing Lodge for a few days at the end of a two week trip. The rooms are very comfortable with gorgeous views of the surrounding hills. I spent most of the time relaxing on the porch of my chalet or the porch of the main lodge. I had the full board package and thoroughly enjoyed my meals. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again.
