Weddings amongst red sand dunes.
Those who come to stay at Rostock Ritz Desert Lodge want to experience the beauty and stillness of a fascinating landscape and are definitely not in search of a noisy party. We offer a variety of hiking trails, guiding you across hills and dunes, over winding mountain paths to hidden bushman paintings. Isolated dark red sand dunes rise above the grasslands, setting the boundary of the Namib dune belt and creating a somewhat mystical appearance, thrown into nature. Rostock Ritz with its unique red sand dunes amongst endless grasslands and mountain ridges is in fact predestined for a romantic wedding. The most beautiful of our sand dunes is about a kilometre away from the lodge.
The wedding guests enjoy this stroll to where the ceremony will be held, whereas the bride and groom will arrive on either quad or in a 4x4 vehicle. The setting is ideal to celebrate, allowing spectacular views of the mountain ranges immersed in a myriad of colours, shade and light, towering above the plains, like a painting.
The panorama is once again wrapped up in mystery. The wedding ceremony can also be held at Rostock Ritz – well known priest Fourie van den Berg will gladly perform this task. Our so called wedding dune appears to be very popular for the ceremony. Thereafter the guests and newly wed’s enjoy the celebration at the lodge’s restaurant and terrace or at the pool with its lapa, depending on personal request and the amount of guests.
The lodge can accommodate up to 44 persons. In addition we have a nearby campsite for those wanting to enjoy the Namibian starlit sky in the bush. For festive gatherings and weddings we will be able to cater for groups of up to 60 persons. We will do our utmost to make your stay unforgettable and will try to fulfil your every wish at Rostock Ritz. Whether it be leisurely on the dunes or a festive dinner to be celebrated at our restaurant in a five course meal style, excellent buffets, warm or cold and more. On request we will provide a band and for wedding festivities we offer special rates.
