Accommodation

For our astronomers we offer a late and sumptuous breakfast in a family atmosphere. 

In the early afternoon coffee, tea and cake are served at the Astro Villa, and dinner is served early enough so that you can start with your activities as soon as the stars are coming up.

In our warm-up hut near the observatories, astronomers are served a night soup or snack as part of their half-board. Especially during the cold nights in June and July, the warm-up hut is a social centre, and many an Astro photographer has been deprived of the dark adaptation by the South African red wine, while outside his Astro camera dutifully reeled off its exposure series…

In preparing our meals we try to minimise the carbon foot print wherever possible. Most of the perishable ingredients are home-grown in our vegetable garden, citrus grove and game reserve. These include daily fresh milk and cream from our Jersey-cows, eggs from our rebellious, free running chickens, herbs and veggies from our garden and meat from wildlife (guaranteed free of antibiotics). From all of these natural ingredients our cooks create delicious meals that are a fusion of traditional Namibian, continental and European cuisines.

Do you prefer a vegan or gluten free diet, or are allergic to certain foods? No problem, inform us beforehand and we will cater for your every need.
