Beautiful
A gracious lodge in a spectacular setting. We were welcomed warmly and helped to take our cases to our lodge. The lodge was smallish and basic but in a lovely spot surrounded by wildlife. Food was excellent, and we loved afternoon snacks on the terrace. The pool was beautifully sited and quiet. Darius led a very enjoyable and informative sundowner walk. Only a tiny criticism - the service in the restaurant was sometimes very slow. Overall our stay was a delight.

I had a not so good experience with Canyon Lodge and found their customer service extremely poor. While I had an issue, I would have thought that the lodge would have had better support through a difficult situation. They did not. Thus, my rating is what it is.

Great lodge in a great location
Great place to stay in a spacious setting and with a pool that looks over the desert. It is close to Fish River Canyon, being about a 30 minute easy drive. Ask for a room in the rocks overlooking the desert. Food offering is good considering the location and style of accommodation. Staff are friendly.

This was a once in a lifetime experience. It was at the end of a very long and arduous drive but well worth it. An arrangement of chalets built into the natural rock formation of the area. We even had a huge rock protruding into our bedroom and bathroom. The service was impeccable with friendly and helpful staff.

Unusual, peaceful, pleasant
Like an oasis in the desert Canyon Lodge offered a delightful respite from the harsh surroundings. The accommodation consists of 25 small chalets with thatched roof, some built into rock. They have air on but no fridge, and are quite small, but clean. We booked in for 4 nits, but left after 3, as activities were limited. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool, some distance from the other buildings and very peaceful. We would go again, but for no more than 2 nights.

Lovely lodge
The lodge is in an amazing setting. The surrounding rocks were the best part the chalets are lovely but a bit cramped. We had to walk a long way to the main lodge but conversely we had privacy

The Eastern side of the Fishriver Canyon is the best side to visit. There are lots of animals on the road, from Impala, mountain zebras and Springbok to little klipspringers. Canyon Lodge is also THE place to be when visiting this area. Fantastic pool area, the honesty bar is a novel idea and the setting is just beautiful. Loads of great photo opportunities here. Then a quick 20km drive to Canyon Roadhouse is an absolute must!

Enjoyable stay near Fish River Canyon
Very nice and quiet chalet (# 25) away from other rooms and walking paths (some chalets have paths to other chalets that pass nearby). A bit of a walk to the main lodge, but we liked it that way. Some rooms require walking up and down a series of steps, so if this is an issue for you, be sure to tell reception when you book! We ate dinner one night and absolutely enjoyed it, but only ate 1 night due to the high price for the buffet. Breakfast was included in our room and was also very nice. The lodge may look a bit out of place in the middle of the dessert with all the green lawns and flowers, but for us it was a welcome sight after camping and traveling long distances. Only complaint was that there was dust and spider webs up under the thatch roof and dust on the top of the walls, but it really wasn't very noticeable.

spectacular location
The Lodge is a green oasis surrounded by rocks and sand with a magnificent pool setting. Some of he individual rock cottages are actually built against the huge boulders, so parts of the boulder forms the wall of the cottage. If you like your privacy this is certainly the place.The food and service are very good.The Canyon Village is close by (5 minutes drive or 20 minute walk) which allows you to have a change in dining venues.The Canyon Village accommodation is similar except the cottages are not surrounded by lush green lawns, but is much cheaper. I would certainly stay there again, it would take a lot to beat the spectacular setting.
