Perched on the western rim of Fish River Canyon, Fish River Lodge lies within the Canyon Nature Park, a privately owned reserve of 450km² which includes a 75km stretch along the canyon's edge. The lodge's dramatic location gives spectacular views across the Fish River Canyon.
Surrounded by a grove of kokerboom trees, the lodge offers 20 spacious rooms with stone walls, flat roofs and floor-to-ceiling glass doors, giving fantastic views of the canyon and its intriguing rock formations. The rooms all have large, uncluttered en-suite bathrooms with his-and-hers washbasins, and indoor and outdoor showers so you can 'shower with a view'. Much of the furniture and accessories are made by the local people, giving the lodge an authentic blend of traditional and modern design. Each room also has a veranda overlooking the canyon, perfect for watching the sun set over the sheer cliffs.When not exploring the park, you can relax in the communal area of the lodge. Cool off from the heat of the day with a refreshing swim overlooking the canyon and a drink in the bar. In winter, dine on delicious home-cooked food in front of a cosy fire. On warmer evenings, enjoy a candlelit dinner or sundowner on the terrace or spend the evening gazing at the stars.
