NamibRand Family Hideout Farmhouse
NamibRand Nature Reserve, Namibia
The renovated farmhouse exudes rustic charm and sits in the middle of the red dune landscape of the Namib.
Why you'll love it here
- Enjoy the dune landscape in a remote nature reserve.
- Experience the silence and vastness of the desert.
- You can cater for yourself very well in the renovated farmhouse kitchen.
Where you'll spend your time
In the renovated farmhouse, which is still decorated in a rustic style, there are three bedrooms for up to 10 people. The two bathrooms are equipped with a shower (hot water), toilet and washbasin.
All rooms have solar lighting and candles. On cold winter nights a fireplace provides warmth. Sockets for charging your camera or other devices are also available.
The farmhouse is ideal for self-catering and has a fully equipped kitchen. There is a fridge, a freezer and a stove. On request, full board can be booked. Otherwise you should bring all your own food, as you are really on your own here. There is no restaurant or shop nearby.
Your accommodation
Right outside the farmhouse door lies the vast dune landscape. Only about 50 metres from the veranda there is a small waterhole where antelopes and birds come to drink. When it gets dark you should watch out for Cape porcupines and bat-eared foxes.
Outside there is also an outdoor shower and a barbecue area. This is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed braai in the evening.
Before the house was renovated and converted into accommodation, Stellarine sheep were bred on the farm. The old farm fences, kraals and outbuildings have been preserved to give guests an impression of former farm life in Namibia.

From the farmhouse you have the option of going on a short walk in the surrounding area and exploring the desert landscape. All you need is a bit of a sense of direction.
If you have a 4x4 vehicle with you, you can explore the dune landscape independently on a designated track.
Due to the remote location of the NamibRand Nature Reserve there is very little light pollution, so at night you can admire countless stars and the Milky Way. Imagine the silence, accompanied by the sounds of the "Barking Geckos" and the breathtaking starry sky – incredibly beautiful!
If you are interested in guided tours, you can either join an "Educational Desert Walk" or opt for "Dune Boarding".
