"Fish River Lodge review"
3 nights Arrived 14 May 2012
"Excellent location right on the canyon rim: coudln't get any closer!! Lovely staff who tried very hard to make the stay special. The day trip into the canyon was excellent.
Food and wine were extremely good, especially given the remote location of the property. Our room was very spacious,and the outdoor shower was nice and worked better than the indoor one. Plenty of room for luggage." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Spectacular Fish River Lodge!"
2 nights Arrived 18 Dec 2011
"Everything about the Fish River Lodge was spectacular - it matched the view perfectly. Watching the sunrise and sunset from the veranda of your chalet located on the edge of the canyon should not be missed.
We look forward to a return visit." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Fish River Lodge review"
2 nights Arrived 11 Oct 2011
"We drove 2 1/2 hrs along a gravel road without seeing another vehiicle & whilst we were driving we were wondering if it was going to be worth it. Well, without a doubt it was! The view from the main building and rooms is simply stunning. We received an extremely warm welocme & was advised about everything we needed to know. We were in room 10. The rooms were clean, had everything you needed-even an outdoor shower (private) & a very large bathroom with room for your cases.
We spent quite a few hours sat on our balcony, drinking, overlooking the canyon. Simply lovely. The staff were extremely helpful & considering how remote the lodge is the food was excellent. We went on a drive in the morning with PJ down into the canyon & it was a real highlight. Do not miss. PJ was an excellent guide & is a real asset. We swam in a rock pool, which was freezing even though it was extremely hot outside & then sat by the pool & had lunch.
We are so glad we did drive this far south because the canyon & the lodge is a definite must in our book." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia
