Situated between the Namibian towns of Keetmanshoop and Lüderitz, Alte Kalköfen Lodge offers comfortable accommodation in a restored old farmhouse set in a beautiful natural Namibian desert garden. The lodge offers rustic charm around every corner, as well as a ‘Sundowner Ecke’ and a ‘Reading Corner’. The bi-weekly passing train is a pleasant reminder of the old historic trade routes.

The accommodation at the lodge overlooks the Gurib river bed and the endless desert beyond.

Accommodation is offered in bed and breakfast rooms, self-catering rooms and campsites. Each room is tastefully decorated and has an en-suite bathroom, as well as indoor and outdoor showers. Enjoy the spectacular views over the desert river bed from the comfort of your very own terrace. At dusk, keep an eye on the floodlit waterhole, which attracts oryx and springbok as they refresh themselves from the Namibian dust.

The lodge also offers 3 separate campsites located within easy reach of the main lodge’s facilities. Each campsite can accommodate up to a maximum of 6 people. The restaurant, the swimming pool, braai facilities, and the well-known Cole Lithoparium desert plant collection are also available to campers. Each campsite has its own ablution block powered by solar lighting with a shower, basin, toilet and outside washing troughs for dishes. There is no electricity at the campsites. Hot water is available, heated by a donkey boiler. Breakfast and dinner are available on request, however we ask that you please book dinner at least 1 day before arrival for catering purposes, as all our meals are made with the freshest of ingredients.

The lodge can accommodate 24 guests in total, and is ideal for weddings and functions. Honeymooners can enjoy the tranquillity and romance offered by the picturesque location. The lodge is well positioned for visiting South Namibian attractions, and is an ideal stop-over for those travelling to Sossusvlei or Kgalagadi Park.
