Penduka Village

A little difficult to find -trust the locals, not your navigation system!- but Penduka Village is well worth a visit! The staff are friendly. The information they provided during our tour of the village and the working areas presented a side of Namibia which many do not realise exists. We stayed in our camper directly on the shores of the lake -a wonderfully lush and open setting- so I cannot say anything about the rooms. Our dinner of local specialities -prepared and cooked on site- allowed us an experience which is hard to find in Namibia! Thanks for that!

A really great organization, helping women become independent and self-supporting. They sell crafts to help support the mission and this is a great place to buy embroidered textiles, jewelry, hand made bags, etc. A really peaceful spot to enjoy a picnic or just relax in the fresh air.

Amazing project. We went there through a tour and I was amazed about how the project started, nice to have people uplifting women and creating projects like this. Our tour went through the art they do there, hand made jewelry with crushed glass, Namibian Batik and the embroidery work, all looked beautiful. We bought pillow cover and apron and everything was beautifuly made. They have a place to stay and I would definitely come back to stay there as the landscape around was so beautiful. It was really nice that the tour had this stop, we would never had known the place if it wasn't the tour, and learning about what's been done there.

Great center for women to learn, produce, and sell batik, embroidered, crafted pillows, aprons, baby items. See how they make beads from wine bottles. Enjoy the waterfront restaurant. Playground made of recycled materials. Dina gave us a great tour. Check out the sale table in the store

Not a luxury, but very lovely and clean place to stay overnight. Each room is right down at the lake. The staff is very friendly and helpful. In the restaurant (with a beautiful view over the lake) delicious local food is served, far beyond just putting meat on the grill. And the handicrafts sold in the shop are nice souvenirs to take home. |If ever we'll come back to Windhook, we will stay there again.

We purchased presents for friends here and highly recommend

Can't rate the rooms as we just went for a meal, which was really good and reasonably priced. Besides, the view is amazing, yet reading the place is a puzzle.

The place is run by an organisation that helps women to become economically independent employing them in textile production that you can buy from the shop. We haven't had dinner but food at breakfast was so good.
