Bedrooms stand alone in arcs out from the main block and each thatched room has its own sheltered private terrace with a plunge pool to cool off in and an outside sheltered seating area for private dining or lounging. There is also a rooftop terrace where the hotel provides special bedding so that the guest may, if they wish, sleep outside under the stars. The staircase to this rises from the private terrace area, which is elevated above the surrounding area and securely screened off.

The bed is positioned in the bedroom so that one can lie and look across the landscape. With the high ceiling reaching the underside of the thatch, and floor-to-ceiling windows maximising the view to the terrace and to the wilderness, this is indeed 'African television'. To lie in bed and see a jackal or springbok on the other side of the glass barely 30 feet away is magical, but the general view, with the pink of the Sossusvlei dunes forming the horizon line, is in itself very beautiful.

Rooms are large and have en suite bathrooms. Solar panels supplement the mains electricity supply and unlike Damaraland these 'kulalas' (kulala means sleep) have kettles to make tea and coffee.

Design layout is good with a mirrored wall separating the 'domestic areas' from the bedroom proper. The bedroom also has a large seating area with a big squashy sofa and castored logs as extra seats. The occasional tables are like large pebbles and cushions are made to look like rocks. Colours are muted natural tones and the patterns come from weaves and thatch, but the emphasis is on natural and locally sourced.
