About

This quaint, off-the-gride farmstall is located in the heart of the South Namibian desert, just 20 miles from Naute National Park. Run by Wally and Meisie Jochimsen, this unique lodging offers camping igloos, bathrooms, great coffee, and a laughing parrot.

Stop by to try some of the apple pie everyone raves about or a kudu meat pie, as well as delicious biltong, souvenirs, a beautiful sunset, and directions.
