Canyon Lodge
Gondwana Canon Park | Box 80205, Fish River Canyon

Canyon Lodge (aka Cañon Lodge, or even Canon Lodge) is situated in the Gondwana Canyon Park, just 20km from the Fish River Canyon, and 2km from its sister lodge, Canyon Village. Built around an old farmhouse, it is a charming, rustic lodge which has a similar style but is more upmarket than another sister lodge, Canyon Roadhouse.

Accomodation

Stone pathways lead to each of Canyon Lodge's 30 chalets, which are dotted enticingly amongst huge granite boulders, or kopjies, and seven simpler standard rooms which lie closer to the main building.

Dining

The reception, an indoor restaurant and the bar area can be found here. There is a safe in reception for the safekeeping of valuables. As the building has been constructed by using mostly local stone, the interior is cool, but lacks natural sunlight.

Indoor Dining

Recreation

A considerable walk from the main area, in a peaceful and isolated spot down a long pathway past the chalets, is a stunning turquoise swimming pool with beautiful views. Comfortable loungers and plenty of shade make this a good place to relax, and there's also an honesty bar and towels for guests to use.Activities arranged by Canyon Lodge are similar to those at Canyon Village, and include a sunrise walk, a morning hike (6km), a drive to Fish River Canyon, horseback riding and a sundowner drive or walk. That said, most travellers with their own car will want to drive to the viewpoints of the Fish River Canyon to take in the spectacle and explore for themselves a bit.
