Our stay was perfect and food was very good. Staff friendly and caring. Helpful to offer us a breakfast pack because we were leaving early.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you for your review and rating, it was a pleasure to have hosted you.

The adventure starts trying to get there. if it is your first night in Namibia, the road is a good taste of what's coming in the rest of the country. Much easier departing as the road is now connected to the highway westbound. Cabins are spartan and simple but serviceable. Food and service was outstanding and the fact that a local group had rented out the place for a birthday shows that it is well regarded locally.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you for your review and rating. We apologize for the roundabout getting to River CR. The entrance road recently changed due to the new highway. We were struggling to get the road directions updated in time on Google Maps. We are however happy that you enjoyed your stay and it was a pleasure to have hosted you. Kind regards RCL

A very pleasant, well priced property. At the moment, a bit difficult to find. This will change once the new highway between Windhoek and the airport is open. Friendly, well trained staff. Good food (breakfast, lunch, dinner). The rooms are specious. Nice views. Pleasant swimming pool. Excellent place to stay after travelling in Namibia for a couple of weeks. We stayed for two nights before returning to Canada. Easy access to both, the airport and the city. We would choose it again.

River Crossing Lodge is a wonderful place just outside of Windhoek with very lovely staff and in a great location to relax in a great atmosphere. The rooms are very big and super nice with great private bathrooms. I can very highly recommend the lodge. It is my go to place every time I’m in Namibia.

After 4 years since I lodged there, River Crossing’s standards remain unmatched. The service is as excellent as I remembered it. The staff are so kind and patient as I have a knack for getting lost, they directed me patiently till I found my way to their new entrance. The food, I had a creamy basil pesto penne and requested for extra smoked salmon and everything was done with ease. The food came to me fresh and hot. Ugh, I was so happy with everything. And that view top of that mountain is unparalleled. I needed a break from the buzz of the city life and I got more than that. I got clarity and a renewed soul and strength. Thank you RCL. ❤️!

River crossing Lodge is a great lodge with beautiful views and creates the feeling of being secluded in nature, even though you are close to the city (as we needed to be but could enjoy the feeling of being far away). Staff was always friendly and helpful.

I was visiting the lodge for the second time and I loved it again. The little chalets are comfortable and clean and provide a spectacular view to the surrounding mountains. In the early morning hours you can sit on your terrace, watch the sunrise and even spot some animals if you are lucky. Food options are also good and the people working at the lodge are super friendly and providing strong service. Overall excellent value for money.

We stayed in bungalow 15 with a mega virgin view fo the valley and mountains. Top quiet, with veranda, spacious. Excellent location between Airport and Windhoek, you can see over the city on one side. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food excellent and affordable. Drinks very affordable. High quality breakfast. All in all a mega start to visiting the south of Africa.

The staff is very friendly and very helpfully. The cabins are pretty and comfortable. The campsites are all a little bit different. We had the campsite Nr. 10. This was a very good spot and we would recommend that one

We had lovely three nights stay at River Crossing Lodge in Xmas 2024. Rooms or better to say small houses are spacious with beautiful mountains view. We were very pleased for food services and helpful and kind personnel.

We had a lovely stay here - sadly only one night - but we really enjoyed it. The staff are lovely and welcoming. The food was of a good standard and the rooms are nice and spacious. The lodge is out of town but that is fine so long as you are aware. Taxis charge a fee for "out of town" so make sure you factor that in. I would happily return.

This was a great place to stay for our last night in Namibia. The room (individual chalet) was very comfortable with great views. After a lot of buffets, it was nice to be served a three course dinner (with choices). Breakfast was also very good. It was initially a bit tricky to find as we had to cross the new road that is being built, but some workmen pointed us in the right direction. A nice rural setting though, just out of Windhoek so very quiet at night.
