Isolated but a great stay
We both really loved our stay at Cape Cross.
Yes it is rather isolated and remote but we loved being so close to the sea and the heavy fog which that part of the world is famous for.
The seal colony is definitely worth a visit, we loved watching the seals, the young babies trying to find their mothers, the squabbles and the seal soap opera played out on the beach.
Excellent accommodation in isolated location
For being the only accommodation in the area this was very good indeed. Huge bedroom including balcony with sea view.
Very friendly, talkative and informative waiters.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A fine place to stay close to the huge seal colony. Not one of our favorites but no complaints either.
I'm guessing that since there are no other lodges in the area that feel like they don't have to be super attentive to their guests.

Location was superb, an excellent break on our drive from Swakopmund along the Skeleton Coast.

We spent one night here. Again staff were welcoming, room great (and very large!) with sea view.
The manager was very informative about the history of the area. We enjoyed the visit to the seal colony very much. On the way back to Swakopmund we also visited a wreck which we'd missed on the way out due to the fog.
Cape Cross Lodge review
An odd place. A Namibian winter possibly not the best time to stay, as there was no heating in the very large, very attractive rooms.
A fire was lit in the lounge/dining area which helped but the feeling was rather bleak.
However, it is the only place to stay if you wish to see the seals. And they were worth it.

Went to photograph the conflict between seals and jackals but no jackals at the colony although saw one at the lodge water point.
Staff friendly and helpful,one excellent evening meal
Mysterious Cape Cross
Disabled persons review: All areas of this lodge were easily accessible.
After walk along the beach, which was completely deserted, I turned round to look at the lodge through the coming mist, making it look very eerie (but in a good way!)
Lovely to wake to the noise of the crashing waves.
The seal sanctuary is worth a visit but take a peg for your nose.
We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
