Tsumeb Hotels

Makalani Hotel: open the gates!

We arrived rather late at the hotel. Late and tired and I was irritated at having to drive the car to the car entrance to find it closed & have to drive back down to the reception to expalain. Upon the receptionist telling me the guard would open the gates - that I should just wait, I drove back to the car entrance.... waited....waited....waited.... back to the reception "nope, nobody there..." "ok I get somebody... go wait"..... back to the gates. Finally we got in, humped luggage through a most delightful courtyard and into the room... no thrills but clean and I like clean.

We ate in the hotel resaturant because we were too tired and couldn't be bothered to go out and find somewhere. There was an indoors (with bar and it was full) and there was the outdoors - the courtyard... we chose the courtyard because it really was charming and we didn't fancy people... we were tired!

If you are a meat eater then oyu will do fine here. Being a vegetarian I opted for the vegetarian option of cheese and tomato pizza.... I never dreamed it would come covered in over cooked (as in cooked to their death and cooked again!) carrots.... YUP... I got me a carrot pizza... and the truth of the matter is... I have not had a carrot since! but it was a "holiday moment" which caused great hilarity for the rest of my family as they tucked into their various assorted dead animals with not a carrot in sight!!!

Our room had 2 double beds and, with breakfast included, we paid N$740.26
