Anticipation builds as you veer off C37, the main gravel road toward Canyon Lodge. The soft hues of apricot sand blending with the pale green of euphorbias provide a tranquil prelude to the beauty of the lodge's surroundings. As you round the final bend, the lodge emerges into view. Nestled among rounded granite boulders, Canyon Lodge's charming century-old farmhouse reception, lush garden, and serene pond beckon, extending a warm welcome into this enchanted enclave.
Embark on a guided drive to the awe-inspiring Fish River Canyon and discover fresh perspectives. Follow the 4x4 //Garas self-drive route to encounter plains animals, or savour the sunset from the nearby hilltop or on a sunset drive. Here, away from the bustle of the world, you'll find a gentle rhythm of peace that reaffirms life's beauty.
If relaxation is on your agenda, unwind by the poolside. Thirty thatch-and-stone chalets scattered among the granite boulders provide an intimate home base for exploring the landscape. Lose yourself in a book on the terrace, attuned to the ancient rhythms of the land.
With its character and charm, Canyon Lodge offers an unpretentious allure perfectly suited to the rugged surrounds of the Fish River Canyon, which is less than 20 kilometres away.
