"A great first stop in Namibia"
Went on the sundowner walk on our first night which was good, and free, including the sundowner drink. All of the food was buffets and the selection small, however the food was well cooked and tasty so this caused us no problems. The bar prices were reasonable considering that they had a captive audience." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa

"Oasis at the end of a nightmare"
The road in was horrendous - our first stretch of gravel road, 137 km long and (we later learned) in uncharacteristically poor condition. It was very badly corrugated for most of the way and had us wishing that we'd stayed at home. But rounding the final bends to see the lodge was a very pleasant surprise and we had a great two days here.
We were in the furthest of the bungalows (23) which felt wonderfully isolated, with beautiful views from the terrace - and another upmarket cave for a bathroom. Loved the way they had built into and around the rocks without compromising on comfort. The guided drive to the canyon was interesting and enjoyable - we particularly enjoyed stretching our legs on the walk to the hikers viewpoint." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Beautiful location at Canyon Lodge"
We had a great room with fantastic views. I love the boulders jutting into it.
A really good buffet-style evening meal with a very good choice for the vegetarian one of us.
Really lovely gardens at the front of the building.
Not too far to go to see the canyon and in a beautiful location." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
"Impressive lodge design in stunning location"
Extraordinary setting amongst the boulders with chalets built ingeniously around the rocks. Fabulous views at sunset both from the lodge and the swimming pool.
Fish River Canyon fantastic and easily accessible from the lodge. Would recommend that three nights would allow time to visit the Canyon, the farm and Ai-Ais in the south without lots of difficult driving. We stayed two nights and wished we had stayed a third as we had to miss out the farm visit.
We didn't use any activities organised by the lodge e.g. Canyon Visit, horse riding etc." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia
"Great guides"
We were happy with the accomodation which had amazing views. The food was very very good and the staff very attentive. The swimming pool has an amazing view; but was not for the faint-hearted as even with the hot sunshine it was very cold!
We enjoyed our trip to the Canyon and felt it was good value for money. Howver, perhaps the highlight of our stay here was a visit to the farm and self sufficiency centre where we met other staff and saw the farm animals. This was free of charge and really worthwhile.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff here and after reflection on the whole trip; felt that Canon Lodge was a really great place to stay for 2 nights." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia

"Canyon Lodge review"
The communal areas were well laid out and the restaurant was lovely. They also have the best swimming pool of all the lodges were stayed at with breathtaking views and an amazing place to watch the sunset with a gin and tonic in hand (or whatever you like)." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
