OP MY STOEP is in the oasis town situated in the Namib Desert – the oldest desert in the world – in the extreme southwest of Namibia, is also bordered by the Orange River and Atlantic Ocean, at the mouth of the river, thus its German name Oranjemund, meaning “Mouth of the Oranje”. Oranjemund was established in 1936, following Hans Merensky's discovery of significant alluvial diamond deposits on the north bank of the Orange River and the adjacent northern coastline. Oranjemund has a mild desert climate with pleasant temperatures throughout the year, therefore making it an attraction location for year-round visits. 

The original building was built in 1971, but was used as the Horse Riding Club, where all horse enthusiasts would come together to share their passion and love for the elegant four-legged animal. In 2006 the OP MY STOEP lodge was built on the old gymkhana and show jumping grounds, with the restaurant and bar having been started earlier. 

The accommodation is placed around its own oasis of green grass and koi pond, offering a restful place to read a book, tap away on a laptop, soak up the sun’s rays or just swing peacefully back-and-forth on the self-made garden swing, while watching the graceful movements of the koi’s and occasional visit of a few of the many bird species who have made the Orange River banks their home.
