Kombineer 'n geskiedkundige besoek met 'n pragtige blyplek.

Duwisib is baie meer uniek as wat mens met die eerste oogopslag sal lees. Die geskiedenis van hierdie plaas is byna so oud soos Namibia en die gasteplaas se geboue weerspieël hierdie geskiedenis. Die oorspronlike Duwisib-kasteel staan soos dit gebou en bewoon is en is binne loopafstand van die gastehuise. Die uitsig van die hoofgebou is na die weste en daar is min plekke op aarde wat 'n beter sonsondergang kan bied as westelike Namibia. Duwisib gasteplaas is effe hoog geleë en die uitsig oor die Namibwoestyn tot die son ondergaan is uitstekend. Daar is pragtige buite sitplekke en ook braaiplekke om dit van vroeg namiddag al te kan geniet. Die bestuur hou hulle vinger op die pols en alles is in uitmuntende kondisie. Die bestuurder ken die geskiedenis en stories van die omgewing en die land. Dit is 'n plesier om na hom te luister. Hy is volledig drietalig en kan die meeste gaste in hulle eerste taal met oulike stories vermaak. Etes in die restaurant is geurig en meestal een of ander wildsgereg gekombineer met plaaslik beskikbare groente plus stysel. Die kamers is nuut, ruim en pragtig skoon. Daar is nie iets wat mens negatief kan laat voel nie. Mense sal dalk wonder oor die feit dat daar nie lugversorging is nie, maar die ervare Namibier sal gou kan vertel dat die getroue westewind vanaf die see elke namiddag 'n koue luggie inbring wat jou eerder na 'n trui sal laat gryp as die lugversorging aanskakel. Duwisib gasteplaas kan ek aanbeveel sonder om te twyfel en ek sal die plek met graagte weer besoek.

Combine a historical visit with a beautiful place to stay.

Duwisib is much more unique than one would read at first glance. The history of this farm is almost as old as Namibia and the guest farm's buildings reflect this history. The original Duwisib Castle stands as it was built and inhabited and is within walking distance of the guesthouses. The view from the main building is to the west and there are few places on earth that can offer a better sunset than western Namibia. Duwisib guest farm is situated slightly high and the view over the Namib Desert until the sun goes down is excellent. There are beautiful outdoor seats and also braai places to be able to enjoy it from the early afternoon. The management keeps their finger on the pulse and everything is in excellent condition. The manager knows the history and stories of the area and the country. It is a pleasure to listen to him. He is fully trilingual and can entertain most guests with cute stories in their first language. Meals in the restaurant are flavorful and mostly some game dish combined with locally available vegetables plus starch. The rooms are new, spacious and beautifully clean. There is nothing that can make one feel negative. People may wonder about the fact that there is no air conditioning, but the experienced Namibian will soon be able to tell you that the faithful west wind from the sea brings in a chill every afternoon that will make you reach for a sweater rather than turn on the air conditioning. . I can recommend Duwisib guest farm without hesitation and I will gladly visit the place again.

Die mooiste kampplek! Baie skoon eienaar Christian het uit sy pad uit gegaan.

Dit was een van die koudste aande. Daar was oorspronklik nie krag nie, maar hy het vir ons 'n krag punt gereël sodat ons ons elektriese komberse kon aansit om warm te bly in die nag! Sal seker weer daar gaan bly.

The most beautiful campsite! Very clean owner Christian went out of his way.

It was one of the coldest nights. There was originally no power, but he arranged a power point for us so we could put on our electric blankets to stay warm at night! Will definitely stay there again.

Netjies, skoon en rustig.

Duwisib het 'n pragtige kamparea. Die badkamers is lieflik skoon en netjies ingerig. Daar word werklik baie moeite gedoen om dit so gemaklik as moontlik vir die gaste te maak. Die kampeerarea is netjies gehark, skoon met lekker braai en was fasiliteite. Ek sal Duwisib aanbeveel, dit was heerlik om daar te oornag en met ons vriende en familie te kuier.

Duwisib has a beautiful camping area. The bathrooms are lovely clean and neatly furnished. A lot of effort is really put into making it as comfortable as possible for the guests. The camping area is neatly raked, clean with nice braai and washing facilities. I would recommend Duwisib, it was lovely to spend the night there and visit with our friends and family.

Oornag op pad na Luderitz.

Ons was 4 paartjies wat oornag het by Duwisib. Alhoewel dit baie koud was, was die geriewe puik. Die yskas was bietje van 'n probleem a.g.v die grootte.

Vir die ligging en die prys is Duwisib 'n ideale verblyfbasis.

Die doel van ons reis was om Sossusvlei te besoek. Nader verblyfplekke is baie duur. Dus het ons Duwisib as basis gebruik, waarvandaan ons vir die dag met die C27-roete na Sossusvlei gereis het en toe weer terug na Duwisib met die C19 roete. Die geskiedkundige kasteel, ander geboue en die perdekraal is baie interessant, die plek is baie billik geprys en bied alles wat nodig is vir selfsorggeriewe.

For the location and the price, Duwisib is an ideal accommodation base.

The purpose of our trip was to visit Sossusvlei. Closer accommodation is very expensive. So we used Duwisib as a base, from where we traveled for the day on the C27 route to Sossusvlei and then back to Duwisib on the C19 route. The historic castle, other buildings and the stables are very interesting, the place is very reasonably priced and offers everything needed for self-catering facilities.

Rustige plek om 'n paar dae lekker te ontspan.

Naby die ou Duitse kasteel, Duwisib, lê die historiese gastehuis. Dit is die regte plek om 'n paar dae lekker to ontspan en met 'n boekie op die stoep van jou kamer te sit en lees. Die kamers is eenvoudig, maar netjies en vriendelik toegerus. Die gashere, Jochen en se seun Christian, was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het dit baie geniet om saans met Jochen met 'n glasie wyn oor die plaaslewe te gesels.

Quiet place to relax for a few days.

Near the old German castle, Duwisib, lies the historic guest house. This is the right place to relax for a few days and sit and read with a book on the veranda of your room. The rooms are simple, but neatly and kindly furnished. The hosts, Jochen and his son Christian, were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed chatting with Jochen about farm life in the evening with a glass of wine.

Moet net nie ontbyt daar eet nie.

Kuier was lekker. Ons het ontbyt gevra wat ongelooflik karig was vir meer as R100 per kop het ons net roereier en braaibrood gekry. Met graan-pappe. Mens sou darem so iets van 'n vleisie by verwag het. Verder lekker en netjies.

Just don't eat breakfast there.

Visit was nice. We asked for breakfast which was incredibly meager for more than R100 per head we only got scrambled eggs and fried bread. With cereal porridge. At least one would have expected something like that from a meat. Also nice and neat.

Rustige manier om die kasteel te besoek.

Duwisib Guest Farm is reg langs die Duwisib Kasteel, jy kan rustig na die kasteel stap en jou tyd neem om dit te besigtig. Dit is 'n lang pad om daar te kom en ons het gevind dit was die moeitewerd om oor te slaap. Die gastehuis is skoon en netjies, die aandete was heerlike plaaskos en die gasheer het jou werklik laat tuis voel.

Duwisib Guest Farm is right next to the Duwisib Castle, you can leisurely walk to the castle and take your time to view it. It's a long way to get there and we found it was worth sleeping over. The guest house is clean and tidy, the dinner was delicious farm food and the host really made you feel at home.

Moeite werd.

Duwisib Guest Farm & Camping is redelik ver, maar nie te ver van ons pad af nie, maar by verre die moeite werd om te gaan sien. Die gastehuis kamers is baie mooi skoon en definitief die geld werd om by te bly. Parkering by die kamers met 'n plaasatmosfeer. Vriendelike onvangs by die gastehuis, asook bu die Duwisib Kasteel.

Verras.

Die personeel en gasheer was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die kamer was 'n bietjie teleurstellend, ons het baie meer verwag vir die geld wat ons betaal het. Die bed was baie hard, die matras is dun en ongemaklik. My vrou kon nie die nag slaap met haar seer rug nie. Die stort was yskoud en dan skielik weer warm en dadelik yskoud. Die kos was smaaklik maar vir die prys per persoon, was die kos nie die geld werd nie. Ek dink die pryse is gemik op die oorsese mark en nie ons gewone Suid Afrikaners. Die ligging en omgewing was 'n aangename belewenis.

Surprise.

The staff and host were very friendly and helpful. The room was a little disappointing, we expected a lot more for the money we paid. The bed was very hard, the mattress is thin and uncomfortable. My wife could not sleep at night with her sore back. The shower was freezing cold and then suddenly hot again and immediately freezing cold. The food was tasty but for the price per person, the food was not worth the money. I think the prices are aimed at the overseas market and not us ordinary South Africans. The location and surroundings were a pleasant experience.

Aangename verblyf.

Ons het een aand in 'n chalet by Duwisib Guest Farm oorgeslaap. Daar was een groot leefvertrek met vier enkelbeddens, en 'n badkamer met stort. 'n Entjie buite ons eenheid was daar 'n kombuis wat ons kon gebruik. Die eienaar, Christiaan, het vleis aan ons verkoop om te braai. Duwisib self is nie veel van 'n toeristebestemming nie, maar is geskik as oorslaapplek op pad na verdere attraksies.

Pleasant stay.

We spent one night in a chalet at Duwisib Guest Farm. There was one large living room with four single beds, and a bathroom with shower. A little outside our unit there was a kitchen that we could use. The owner, Christiaan, sold us meat to grill. Duwisib itself is not much of a tourist destination, but is suitable as a stopover on the way to further attractions.

Meer inligting kon gegee word met die inklok, die sterre snags is pragtig. Bietjie oorprys.

'n Eie braaiplekkie vir elke kamer sal lekker wees, asook 'n eenvoudige "koffie-stasie" met ketel, bekers, koffie/tee/suiker in elke kamer sal 'n groot pluspunt wees. Daar is een gemeenskaplike kombuisie en braai vir al die kamers. Dit is effe duur vir dit wat jy kry.

More information could have been given upon check-in, the stars at night are beautiful. A bit overpriced.

A private braai place for each room would be nice, as well as a simple "coffee station" with kettle, mugs, coffee/tea/sugar in each room would be a big plus. There is one common kitchen and braai for all the rooms. It's a bit expensive for what you get.
