Fish River Lodge

Making the most of the beautiful vistas, the Fish River Lodge has been built in harmony with its stark, striking surroundings. Completed in 2009, all the buildings that make up the lodge pay tribute to the amazing landscape, offering spectacular views of the Fish River Canyon from sunrise to sunset.

The architecture and interiors of Fish River Lodge have taken their queue from the rugged landscape that surround it. Contemporary, and at times monastic, the lodge was designed to reflect the unique beauty of its location.

Accommodation

20 private chalets are dotted along the edge of the canyon, flanking both sides of the main lodge. As with the main building, guests can soak up the enchanting views. The beds have been placed to allow guests a prime spot from which to gaze over the majestic canyon as the sun washes a kaleidoscope of colours over the landscape every morning.

• Outdoor decks overlook the canyon.
• The additional outdoor showers takes you one step closer to nature.
• Large bathrooms with sufficient storage space to keep clutter out of the bedroom.
• Double basins.
• An outdoor platform allows for sleeping under the stars on warm nights and is ideal for yoga enthusiasts.
