Swartfontein Mountain & Desert Lodge previously was a traditional settlers house, the oldest part of which was built at the beginning of the 20th century by a German soldier. The lodge is situated within the Namib Spreetshoogte Nature Reserve at the summit of the Spreetshoogte Pass, overlooking a beautiful majestic landscape.
One of the highlights of the stay at Swartfontein Lodge is a sundowner at the top of the escarpment, when you can admire the breathtaking view over the mountains, the plains and the red dunes of the Namib desert in the distance, whilst enjoying a glass of chilled sparkling wine.
A vast lawn, almost an oasis in the middle of very arid land, surrounds the farm house. At Swartfontein you can relax in the comfortable armchairs on the veranda, on the lawn, or under a sunshade. Swartfontein's cosy / unique living and dining room has an eclectic mix of antique Italian furniture, big leather couches, family portraits, ancient paintings and objects collected all over the world. There is a large library with more than 1,000 books in different languages on various subjects including wildlife, birds, nature conservation and African history.
Swartfontein Mountain & Desert Guest Farm is owned and managed by a friendly young Italian couple, their commitment is to preserve the very fragile and sensitive ecosystem of the Nature Reserve surrounding the Guest Farm. English, French, Italian and Portuguese are fluently spoken.
You will receive a warm welcome and enjoy meals prepared with natural ingredients from the lodge's vegetable garden in a blend of Italian and local dishes. To complement these there is home made bread and ice cream, and an excellent selection of South African wines, some of which are exclusively bottled for the Namib Spreetshoogte Reserve.
