Entering the Kalahari Farmhouse is like stepping into a magical enclave or an oasis in the desert - far away from the world. It urges you to take off shoes, lie on the soft grass, open a book and relax.
The cottagey chalets with colourful patchwork quilts, fireplaces and oodles of charm look onto the garden lined with towering palms. Birds flutter through the trees, water runs in the streamlets and the feeling of peace pervades the intimate Kalahari resort. Well-positioned on the outskirts of Stampriet where life-giving artesian water spurts to the surface, the Farmhouse enjoys this generous boon in the Kalahari Desert.
Adjacent to the lodge, seasonal vegetables are grown, cows are milked, and a variety of salamis, sausages and biltong are produced. Chickens wander about and pigs grunt contentedly from their enclosures. Take the time off on a trip to put up feet at Kalahari Farmhouse. Easily accessible if travelling between Windhoek and the South, or if en route to the Kgalagadi or South Africa, the lodge is best enjoyed over a few days.
The main area consists of the farmhouse, which houses the restaurant, lounge, bae and curio shop. The restaurant has an open fire place for the cooler evenings, and on warmer evenings the screen doors can be opened to let in the cool night air, or to allow guests to dine out on the terrace. All the main areas are decorated with little trinkets collected over the years, and one can spend a while examining them and the postcards covering the walls. The bar area consists of an inside and outside pool area.
This is the ideal accommodation option for couples or families wanting a relaxing and comfortable stop-over, spending their time relaxing by the pool and indulging in the food and drinks offered in the restaurant and bar.
