We stayed at the Sossus Dune Lodge as we wanted to see the sunrise in the dunes. If you stay outside the national park, you get access too late and miss the sunrise. We stayed two nights and ordered breakfast bags for both mornings. Regarding the complaints of other reviewers about the size of the bags: you get juice, apple,... More

Positives: Our room was huge, with the bathroom being one of the largest we've ever had, and the shower was a great one. High standard of the decor and fittings. The private deck with the lounge chairs were the place to relax. Location can't be beat, our sunset view was beautiful. Cons: One weak fan in the room had little... More

Best location to reach the dunes before sunrise if you drive you own 4x4. Picnic breakfast rather small, service slow and not very friendly. When returning the second evening from the dunes, there were no shuttle and we and 2 more couple set out on foot. Dinner: 3 course with only a choice between 2 options for mains. Steep tariff...

Our experience in this hotel was fabulous. Location is from outer world, rooms are excellent and food is very good. Being inside the national park allows you to reach the dunes before sun raise. Service could improve.

We loved our rooms, especially as we were overlooking a small waterhole. The location is fantastic and being inside the national park means that you can be the first ones up the sand dunes watching the sun rise. Some staff were fine and our guide was excellent but some were a little unfriendly. Room was ok, however, the picnic breakfast... More

Your trip to Sossuvlei will be incomplete if you don't stay at Sossus Dune Lodge. The location is perfect you get first hand view of the dunes since its inside the park. The view of sunset from the lodge is serene. I spent my Birthday at this lodge, and it was a very very memorable one. Its difficult to find... More

We spent 2 nights here on our honeymoon. We booked mainly because it was situated within the park meaning we could get to the dunes by sunrise & stay until sunset. The place was beautifully laid out and the staff very friendly. The food was good. The only problem we had was with our 4x4 which we did not know... More

As noted, staying here just to climb the dunes in the pre-dawn cool and catch the sunrise is totally worth it. But the rooms are also extremely nice, and we had nothing but attentive service. The food was unmemorable, but food's not what you'll remember about Sossusvlei regardless.

Sossus Dune could be fantastic. Brilliant location inside the park so you can be at the Dunes for sunrise and sunset, and above average accommodation- even though no air con. so why oh why can't they sort out their service provision. Some of the staff are brilliant-- friendly and efficient. Others don't seem to be interested Communication between the shifts... More

The location is fabulous since it is the only lodge inside the park. You can leave well before sunrise and actually watch the sun rising over the dunes. The other lodges are all located outside the gate of the park (which only opens at dawn) so by the time you drive the +- 60km after entering the gate the sun... More
