Dinner buffet at nearby (4 km, 4 min drive) Sossusvlei Lodge was impressive! Easy drive (5 min) to Sesriem gate to get in at sunrise. My favourite accommodations in Namibia so far (3rd stay in a 10 day self-drive tour).

If you are going to Sossusvlei/Dead Vlei, this is the perfect location to stay. It's 5km from the gate and worth the price. It's self-catering, but there is a lodge a few km down the road that offers dinner and breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious.

There are 3 non-camping places to stay in Sossusvlei, Desert Camp, Desert Quiver and the Sossusvlei Lodge. They are all owned by the same company. All meals are taken at the Sossusvlei Lodge 2-3 kms down the road. There is no internet at Desert Quiver. There is a nice swimming pool but one needs to drive to it. The rooms are very nice, however. Since the dunes are one of the true Wonders of the World, who really cares about where they stay? The experience was a 10 though the Desert Quiver gets a 7.5.

Nice stay in the desert a few kilometers away from the Sossusvlei national park entrance gate. The accommodation is clean but the external canvas over the small kitchen area is in need of replacement. Also be reminded that breakfast is not served at the quiver camp but rather at the main lodge a few kilometers away.

Good stay

All was ok just wish the pool was working because i booked that the apartment for the pool which was closed. Was offered to use pools from nearby guest houses

Secondly the fridge was not cold and the freezer compartment was tiny. Being in a desert, a big freezer makes sense. I wanted to put 2 liters of water to user when i go to the dunes but it could fit even a 1 litre bottle

Lovely place with very little connectivity

Lovely place very close to the park. We preferred the little huts of the Etosha place (same company), but it had beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The only issue that we had was that the wifi was very weak and only worked at the bar/pool. The second day it didn't work at all. There are no cell towers so our SIM cards did not work here. There is an option to go to the gas station outside of the park and the wifi there (same company so no need for password) is quite good.

Had a good stay at the Desert Quiver. The rooms are basic, (but acceptable), the area surrounding the property is picturesque with the occasional Oryx wandering pass and check-in/checkout was smooth and efficient.

This property is very close to the the park entrance for climbing Dune 45 or walking to Deadvlei.

There is no restaurant at the property so we took the short drive to their sister lodge just up the road. The buffet was good but very expensive for Namibia, (meals and drinks cost around $50 per person), so make sure you arrive hungry and eat everything.

Overall, this lodge is very much as advertised and well priced. Our only small issues were the bar strictly closed at 9.30 each night, the outside cooking/preparation area needs some investment, (tough to be harsh here after two years of covid, so not a big deal) and the outdoor furniture at our room entrance was very uncomfortable, otherwise its a fine choice if you're in the area.

Gem in the Desert

Absolutely loved our stay at this gem in the middle of the desert. Ideally located at the gate to the park of Sossusvlei. Literally 5 minutes drive which is great if you want to split your visit to the park. It was incredibly hot during our stay so we did DeadVlei and the dunes in the morning, skipped the heat of the day at the desert quiver and went back to the canyon in the late afternoon.
They have an amazing pool which is just what you need in the heat. However, there are very limited deck chairs and umbrellas. We weren’t affected as it was not busy during our stay but I think if they are full, the pool area would be way too small and over crowded.
The rooms are lovely and the beds comfortable. Only complaint it is two single beds pushed together and as a couple its not great having the gap between us. The room is way too large for the aircon to be fully effective, and it can get rather warm in there.
The views from your patio are just amazing, and the stars at night are incredible!! The outside kitchen is great but the fridge is very small, so don’t bring too much goods that need to be chilled. They have great braai facilities and really recommend you make use of their meat and salads which you order in the morning and is delivered to your room early evening for you to braai. Great variety, Very affordable and the meat was excellent!!!
Overall, highly recommend!! I would only suggest they have comfier seating arrangements on the patio.

Interesting Experience

The charm of this hotel is that it is sufficiently isolated, but still in touching distance of the nearest town. Travelling 4km for breakfast and dinner is a new experience given the corrugated dirt road, although it was begin ploughed when we left. Although I have to say the staff and the quality of the food was fantastic at the lodge. The main disappointment was that the pool maintainace regime was not being followed as the pool was filthy with algae possibly due to stagnation. Several guest had to complain before prompt action was taken. Although the pool was technically cleaned on the 2nd day, ie PH balanced it was still filled with algae and green and lacked the transparent water that anyone would reasonably expect. If the hotel can maintain a higher quality cleaning process then I would recommend this hotel.

The perfect get-away destination!

Surrounded by nothing but desert - I have never stayed anywhere quite like this! I booked the dinner bed and breakfast package, and we ate our meals at the nearby Sossusvlei Lodge (part of the same group), only a 5 minute drive away - excellent food. Accommodation at Desert Quiver is relatively new and of a high-standard; the only comment I would make is that the toilet/showering facilities have a rather odd layout - it was strange there was no door to the toilet, so no privacy! Personally I'd prefer to stay here than at the larger Sossusvlei Lodge, and better value for money. Quiet, but relaxing, and nice pool/bar area. Very close to the entrance to the National Park and drive to the sand dunes.

Ideal self-catering option near Sesriem gate

My family and I stayed at Desert Quiver Camp in July 2016. The rooms were beautifully designed and perfectly set up to self cater during our visit to the dunes and Sesriem canyon. What you see on the website is truly what you get and I cannot imagine a more perfectly set up and located place in the region. The staff were welcoming and friendly and provided great assistance throughout our stay, and otherwise leave you alone to enjoy your time there. We found the price to be very reasonable and have no hesitation in recommending Desert Quiver Camp to anyone planning their visit to the region.

Nice pool under a stunning rock formation. We brought our own meat to barbecue and for a very reasonable price they provided salads, bread, fruit etc. To gild the lily, a bat-eared fox came right up to the accommodation every night, got some wonderful photos.
