Although not widely advertised, one of the interesting points of this lodge is its quest for self sufficiency. This includes making their own cheeses, yogurt and curd, growing a wide range of vegetables and raising a variety of livestock. (TO 0908).

Tall weather beaten granite boulders mark the location of the lodge and form an integral part of the overall design.

30 bungalows built out of natural rock. All units are thatched and equipped with comfortable beds and ensuite bathrooms. The boulders protrude into the rooms to make them blend in with the natural surroundings.

An old farmhouse, originally built in 1908 by three Bavarian brothers, has been restored to serve as the Lodge Restaurant. Its main attraction is an awe inspiring view of the canyon landscape which makes a meal at the restaurant truly an experience not to be missed.

Just 20 kilometres from the main viewpoint of the Fish River Canyon National Park, off the dusty D324, you'll find the Canon Lodge, an oasis seemingly in the middle of nowhere.
