The Gmundner Brand

With a story of our own, Gmundner Lodge is founded on a legacy that stretches back to 1492. Founded in Austria, Gmundner Keramik is the oldest ceramic company in Europe and remains a family business that is synonymous with the finest quality Austrian tableware.

In 2021, Gmundner Lodge has been designed with a deep respect for nature and with special attention to the environment, wildlife and culture of Namibia. It embodies a new era of unparalleled wilderness luxury, while reflecting our centuries-old commitment to tradition and craftsmanship in our vision for the future.

Our farm is the lifeblood of Gmundner Lodge. Here, amongst the rows of leafy green vegetables and fragrant herbs, we practice our back-to-nature philosophy to enhance the wellbeing of our people and care for the land where we exist.

The Gmundner Farm operates on sustainable agricultural principles. Following the “From Producer to Consumer” guideline, the farm harvests seasonal ingredients and sources fresh products on-site, minimising environmental impact and waste. This approach ensures the long-term sustainability of the location’s ecological balance while supporting the lodge’s kitchen and providing for community members.
