"Canyon Lodge review"
Thank you as this was a great finale to our trip in Namibia.
The outdoor BBQ was a great alternative in the warm evenings and much enjoyed" See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa
"Canyon Lodge review"
The only reasons we don't rate it as 'excellent' are: on our departure morning, someone was waiting outside our room from before breakfast (7.30am), waiting for us to leave; and when we did leave it took over half an hour to check-out, as they were having problems with people paying by credit cards. I was paying by cash and eventually someone told me how much we owed and I just put down the cash and left, as my partner had been waiting in the car all this time (and it was hot...)."

"Location Location"
"Great place at Canyon Lodge"
The location of the swimming pool and honesty bar is stunning - we didn't swim, but it was inviting. Good place for trails and hiking and we enjoyed the views from the top of nearby mountains.
Wished we could have stayed for another night." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Canyon Lodge review"
We went on the sundowner walk to the top of a small hill, not all those who set out completed the walk because for the elderly, it was quite challenging, but for those of us who did, our guide was knowledgeable and amusing and the views were spectacular.
Supper was accompanied by roaring fires and very attentive service. By the second night the accommodation continued to amaze, please and exceed expectation, and we were greeted by hot water bottles!!" See all these reviews: 24n in Namibia; 11n in South Africa

"Canyon Lodge base before FRC - standard room"
We omitteed to note that South African time was one hour ahead - staff did not bat an eyelid when we turned up for breakfast at 5.30am and served us willingly!
Hot water bottles provided in beds much appreciated." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa

It's worth stopping off at the Quiver Tree Forest and Giant's Playground en route." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
"Canyon Lodge"
Food was plentiful , including game, salads, and produce from the Lodge's own farmstead,and quality was very good,meals were self service from a buffet counter. Good wine list.
The choir entertained us with singing on Mothers Day which was very enjoyable.
The Lodge is obviously popular, and a large coach party occupied much of the dining room during our stay, if you wanted a smaller, more intimate and personable place to stay then consider the Canyon Roadhouse, (same owners) - we had lunch and coffee here twice and the staff remembered us. It had a nice relaxed feel to it." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
