Great location just 6km from Etosha’s Anderson Gate. Efficient check in and lovely spacious/clean bedrooms with effective air conditioning. The staff were wonderful, especially Belinda. The gardens are beautifully kept. Evening meals were nice with a small amount of choice. Would however suggest that they find a way of serving the vegetables and potatoes hot as they were cold on the 2 evenings we stayed there. However, this did not distract from a very comfortable and pleasant stay at the property.

choose a stay without captive animals
Close to Etosha gate. I'm not a fan of having wild animals in small enclosures as they do on the premises though, can't say anything about how they were treated though as I didn't visit.

Eldorado campsite
We spent two nights at the Eldorado camping. The Eldorado is very well located, really very close to the Etosha park. The camping itself has all the necessary commodities, very clean, and our campsite had nice well kept grass, perfect for our tent (much better than most of the sandy-dusty campsites in the area). We also enjoyed wonderful sunsets there :)

Not impressed
Self catering facilities not up to standard and cloths for washing dishes were old and dirty. We booked 3 rooms and 2 rooms had problems with drain system and 1 shower was just to clogged up for use
Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2017
We are very sorry to hear about the dirty cloths. It is unacceptable! For the other inconveniences we also apologized while you were staying with us and we offered you free drinks at the bar by way of apology. I apologize again. This is not something guests should experience at Eldorado. I will contact you personally about this.

Best of Afrikaner hospitality
We stayed in brand new rooms; great African decor and feel. The whole place has the perfect farm setup ambience. Dining room with the huge stone braai, where the owner is busy with your meals. Super friendly hosts, efficient staff. Not enough praise for the food: home made zebra salami, smoked kudu fillet, boerewors, biltong, springbok pie, veggies grown in the garden (spinach cakes!!!), super fresh eggs...

Unsanitary.
I found the set up of the room to be very unsanitary. The room is made of cement with boulders in it. How do you ever wash those walls? The bathroom is separated from the room by only a 1/2 wall - it was like sleeping in your bathroom! The toilet lid had a chenille cover on with a matching little 1/2 mat in front of the toilet - disgusting. The coffee sugar, etc were in open containers, not individual sealed packages - again not sanitary. Lovely grounds, though and 10 minutes to the Anderson gate

De accommodatie ligt een kleine 30 km voor de ingang van de Etosha wildpark en de weg daarnaar toe is goed. De lodges zijn eenvoudig ingericht en de douche en toilet zijn door middel van een muurtje netjes gescheiden van het slaapgedeelte. Het diner en ontbijt ware bij ons niet in de prijs inbegrepen maar was van goede kwaliteit en in ieder geval bovengemiddeld, Het personeel was eerst wat stug maar na een paar luchtige grapjes en met een beetje Nederlands hadden we toch ook hier leuk contact.

Etablissement très beau, chambre très agréable. Ferme tenue par une ancienne famille d'origine allemande. Mais nous nous sommes sentis mal à l'aise par rapport à la situation entre les propriétaires blancs de la ferme et les employés noirs. Le buffet n'était pas incroyable, trop gras pour nous. On nous a proposé de faire une activité pour voir des animaux la nuit, après le diner, et quand nous sommes retournés à l'accueil juste après avoir fini de diner (les gérants de la ferme étaient encore à table) on nous a dit qu'il était finalement trop tard pour y aller, nous repartions le lendemain matin...

Dear Laurent. We the owners and our managers eat after our dinner guests are finished with dinner, so it is totally true that we were still at the table by that time as it is the only quiet time we can reflect on the day and plan for the next day. The managers/owners do not do any game drives. The workers/game drivers were on duty until 21H00. By then you changed your mind 3 times about doing the drive. After the 3rd time we told them to go home to bed as they had to get up early the next morning. I think you will agree that it would have been totally unacceptable for us to expect them to get up again by that late hour to do your drive after you specifically cancelled the drive the 3rd time.

Guesthouse sympathique et bien située
L’Eldorado B&B est un établissement où il fait bon se reposer après une excursion au Parc National d’Etosha. Situé à 9 kms de la porte sud, c’est une excellente alternative si les loges du parc sont complètes. Petit déjeuner buffet et dîner buffet également sont très bons et copieux. Accueil sympathique des propriétaires et du personnel. Chambres spacieuses et originales.

Goed verblijf
Prettige ontvangst. Verblijf op basis van selfcatering (diner). Was een elec 2 pits welke buiten onder overkapping stond en magnetron binnen. Je ontvangt een kist met pannen borden etc wat net voldoende is. Douche wc in half afgescheiden ruimte, niet de beste optie (privacy). Douche zelf prima. Ontbijt was goed. WiFi slecht (alleen in algemene deel complex). Zeer dicht bij Anderson gate.

Nice farm stay with big cats in the back garden...
The Eldorado proved a nice and cosy family-run guest farm, well situated just 5 minutes of driving from the Etosha Park's Andersson Gate. We had booked a package with pre-paid breakfast as well as dinner ... and really enjoyed the treat, including a varied choice of delicious local game. The room was nice with well-functioning aircon, fridge and wifi facilities. Guests having reported on the place further up in the log have commented on the room lay out having open toilet and shower amenities ... yes that may be different from other hotels, however we found it quite time saving getting through the morning rituals, and not in any way embarrassing. We will definitely make use of this place again, should our ways come past this exciting and impressive part of the world another time.

Unterkunft in der Nähe des Anderson-Gates
Self-Catering war schwierig, da 90 km bis zum nächsten Supermarkt. Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war nicht so gut wie sonst im Land, ist wohl der Nähe zum Nationalpark geschuldet. Farmer hält selbst einige Wildtiere und bietet gegen üppige Gebühr eine Rundfahrt durch seine Gehege an. Lohnt sich aber.

Não gostei do tratamento que recebemos neste hotel. A equipe era totalmente despreparada.

Isso foi muito chato pois a gente tinha acabado de chegar de um safari e queriamos um tempo para descansar. Foram até o quarto 2x, bateram na porta e insistiram. Uns verdadeiros chatos!

Dear Guest. We are very sorry that you found the staff's response to irritate you. After visiting your country we realize that your culture is very different from ours in terms of dinner times. We are always very concerned our guests who are late for dinner would find that the other guests left them rather tasteless looking food and therefore want to ensure all our guests get the best tasting warm food possible. Sorry again.
