Huts and lodges in th evineyards of Namibia

Imagine an oasis nestled in the world’s oldest desert – natural fresh water springs, their crystal-clear waters sparkling beneath the fronds of lush palm trees, with dazzling vines swaying in the gentle desert breeze against the backdrop of the Naukluft Mountains. Step into the “place of abandoned water”, Neuras N/a’an ku Se Wine and Wildlife Estate. 121 years old, Neuras is one of the driest vineyards in the world, and its in this desert paradise that the N/a’an ku Se foundation has combined the production of exclusive wines with the preservation of Namibia's wildlife, landscape and culture.   We have 7 resident, habituated cheetahs in a 50 hectare enclosure that allow guests to experience during feeding times. We use the opportunity to teach our guests about our conservation efforts and human/wildlife conflict. 

At Neuras we offer economy and luxury accommodation in stone built en-suite chalets. There is a swimming pool for cool dips after a hot day in the desert and visitors can also enjoy sun-downers in our stone-built bar and restaurant. Furthermore, guests can enjoy short walks along the dry river bed or to the springs. We have 8 rustic economy chalets and two luxury units. The luxury units each have their own living room, furnished patio and barbecue station. One of the luxury units is self-catering. We have also partnered with Akilanga and now offer guests 11 furnished tents for an even cheaper, more rugged option. We offer a dinner, bed and breakfast option, and provide delicious home cooked Namibian meals. Alternatively, guests are welcome to cater for themselves using our guest barbecue set.  

Neuras Wine and Wildlife Estate is the brainchild of Rudie and Marlice van Vuuren who are world-renowned for their efforts in preserving culture, wildlife and landscape in Namibia. The sale of Neuras Wines goes toward these efforts.  

We have handmade, hand-bottled and hand-labelled the essence of Neuras, bringing you the true taste of Namibia, in the true spirit of conservation.The vineyard produces Shiraz and Merlot and Red Dessert wine blends. Just as the quality of wines depends on the perfect combination of pure water, fertile soil and an ideal climate, so conservation relies on the pure passion, fertile ingenuity and ideal innovation.
