Moon Mountain Lodge  Verified Listing

Moon Mountain Lodge offers luxury tented accommodation in the Namib Desert. The lodge is situated on the farm named Diep Rivier East. It is adjacent to the C19 situated 30 km south of Solitaire. Un-route to the apricot-colored dunes of Sossusvlei, yet far enough for travelers looking for privacy and solitude, the lodge is ideal for independent travelers.

There are 11 Luxury tented rooms with un-suite bathroom and a private deck with a splash pool. This is the perfect spot for sundowners or "moonrisers". There are also 6 spacious suites boasting all these facilities plus an extra private lounge area for the ultimate relaxation hub. Endless vistas fringed by the Naukluft Mountains can be enjoyed from the comfort and privacy of your own room with its wooden deck, while gemsbok, springbok, and mountain zebra take turns to keep you company. As you are surrounded by this breath-taking environment, there is no need for a television, although there is one in the main building’s lounge. Free Wi-Fi is also offered only in the main restaurant area.

Honeymooners or those who want to enjoy a romantic night in can request room service for dinner. Each room has a fridge. Nebula Restaurant is well-known for its delicious traditional meals. It can host up to 46 guests. Seasonal vegetables grow in the on-site garden, which is made possible by a water recycling plant, optimizing water usage.

Grab a drink at Cosmos Bar and relax on the deck overlooking the Namib’s petrified dunes. You can also enjoy the sunset from here or stargaze the night away. Light pollution in Namibia is minimal and therefore, as the name of the lodge implies, it is the perfect place for optimum views of the night sky.

The lodge is situated on the foot of a hill. Special care was taken to preserve the natural environment when the lodge was built. Almost the entire lodge is built on stilts and elevated from the ground to ensure maximum airflow and minimum impact on the area. Recycled plastic and other materials were used instead of natural wood. Water from the lodge is recycled to ecologically friendly grey-water to prevent soil pollution.

The lodge's Nebula Restaurant offers seating for up to 46 guests.
Local Namibian and South African produce is used in the cuisine. Imported wines from the Cape make up a fine selection of wines to be enjoyed with meals. The Cosmos Bar is fully licensed and has a large adjacent deck to enjoy picture-perfect sunsets and star-studded night skies.

As we strive to keep noise pollution to a minimum and guest relaxation priority; rooms are not fitted with TV, the lodge, however, does have a small cinema; complete with a large flat-screen TV with DSTV, surround sound, and DVD player.
