Waterberg Guest Farm sits directly at the foot of the Waterberg Plateau in north-central Namibia, on a 42,000-hectare working cattle farm that has been run by the Schneider-Waterberg family for three generations. Guests choose between simple double rooms in the farmhouse wing or private stone-and-thatch bungalows scattered around the pool, lapa and garden area, with the plateau’s sandstone cliffs visible from much of the property.
Location and Waterberg access
The farm is located about a half-hour drive from the Waterberg Plateau itself, with the restaurant inside Waterberg Plateau Park roughly 26km away by road. This makes it a practical base for exploring the plateau’s hiking trails and game drives without staying inside the park boundary. The farm’s own 42,000 hectares also offer guided farm drives across open bushveld country below the escarpment.
Accommodation and facilities
Large Double Rooms (around 25m², with a private bathroom, fan, safe and tea-and-coffee facilities) are available on some dates, alongside private entire-bungalow units (around 20m², also with a private bathroom and mountain or landmark views). A Family Bungalow with a king bed and sofa bed suits small families. The farm has an on-site restaurant serving breakfast daily and local cuisine, a bar, an outdoor swimming pool, free parking and free Wi-Fi. Massages can be arranged on site at an extra cost.
Who this property may suit
Waterberg Guest Farm suits travellers who want an authentic working-farm stay with plateau views and farm-drive activities, rather than accommodation literally inside the national park gates. Couples and small families looking for a quiet, unpretentious base near the Waterberg Plateau are well served here; guests wanting resort-style luxury or dining variety may prefer a different property.
