The Retreat
Barkhan Dune Retreat
Barkhan Dune Retreat lies among the hills of the Naukluft Mountains area, between Windhoek and Walvis Bay. It is a small place: a main building with two rooms, and chalets set out in the open a short walk away.
The rooms are modern and simply decorated. Breakfast is a full English breakfast, and dinner is three courses. The self-catering chalets have their own arrangements, and their guests are welcome to join the meals at an extra cost.
The days here are quiet. There are farm drives with sundowners to look for zebra and buck, birdwatching, hikes in the hills, and the pool when it is hot.

Chalets 20 to 50 metres from the main building, close enough to be easy and far enough to be quiet, each with its own bathroom, an outside shower and a veranda.
Larger chalets with more privacy, for couples or travellers on their own who want space to unwind.
