of Solitaire does justice to its name in more than one way. As a stop-over on
your tour of south-
western Namibia and on the way to Sossusvlei it is a must.
The nostalgic general dealer offers home-baked bread and apple pie, and, of
course, drinks, fuel, tyre repair.
Solitaire Country Lodge located on road C14 between Maltahohe and Walvis Bay and offers 25 en-suite bedrooms, each with two single beds
or double bed and air-conditioning. All rooms face the central courtyard with
the huge swimming pool in the centre. Camping, bungalows and limited meals are
on offer in an environment with a unique character and unsurpassed hospitality.
Swimming pool is available.

base from where to explore the Naukluft mountains. It is the perfect stopover
for self-driving guests.
