ACCOMMODATION
Eagle's Nest Lodge is a small group of 9 rock chalets spread out over a boulder-strewn hillside. The Boulder, Desert Vista and The Rock chalets are amongst the guests favourites. Some are built partially from gigantic granite boulders, whilst others are built into the actual rock walls and they all have stone floors.
Each chalet has en-suite facilities, (flush toilet, wash basin/shower with soap dispensers and bath towels provided), a fully equipped kitchenette, a lounge, fireplace and a private verandah, overlooking the seemingly endless Namib Desert.

The chalets also have wooden furniture – bamboo wardrobes and wooden luggage racks - a bedside table and light, and an honesty bar. Each of the chalets have very basic self catering equipment – they all have a a small kitchenette, which is equipped with the basic utensils needed for a braai (BBQ), and to make a cooked breakfast. When you arrive, you'll find napkins, clean cutlery and crockery at your chalet already – and a table set and ready for use.
The Boulder
Made up of 2 interlinked chalets, a 'North' and a 'South' chalet. Each has its own private entrance and en-suite bathroom but they share a lounge area and a dining / kitchenette room between the 2 chalets. This can be accessed by inter-leading doors which lead from the bedrooms of the individual chalets and its is ideal for a family or groups traveling together.
The Desert Vista
It backs onto the rock of the mountain and has a double and a single bed, a small, open-plan lounge area and a private terrace.
The Rock
The Rock is built slightly higher than many of the rest on a steep path. It has a very large rock in the middle of the room, a double and a single bed, a lovely terrace, the usual en suite bathroom and an open plan lounge area.

RESTUARANT
Guests at The Eagles Nest's idyllic setting can appreciate the solitude and tranquility of the desert, but are welcome to enjoy the country cuisine and vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant / bar at the Desert Horse Inn. If they prefer, braai / BBQ packs, breakfast platters can be organized or they can prepare their own meals in their chalets.
ACTIVITIES
Walking Trails: There are 2 walking trails from Eagles Nest. A 12km Eagle trail approximately 5 hour long and the 4km Mountain Trail approximately a 2 ½ hours long.
Wild Horses: The realm of the Wild Horses is in Namib Naukluft Park, north of the road to Lüderitz.

Klein Aus Vista holds special permits for excursions into the areas where these horses can be found.
Scenic Drives: Experience the fascinating plant and animal world of the Succulent Karoo on a scenic drive through Gondwana Sperrgebiet Rand Park.
Hiking Trails: Explore the diverse plant and animal world of the Nama Karoo and Succulent Karoo at your own pace. 5 hiking trails (2 to 5 hours) take you through the wild, romantic landscapes of the Aus Mountains
Aus Info Centre: At the Aus Info Centre, on the way into Aus (3 km), the attractions of the area - like the Wild Horses or the ruins of a POW camp from World War I - are depicted on numerous display boards. Learn more while enjoying a cup of coffee.
