Cape Cross Lodge

All of the 13 luxury rooms at the Cape Cross Lodge are elegantly furnished with balconies offering you unrestricted views of the sea. All of the rooms have en-suite bathrooms, a tea/coffee station and an in-room safe. Relax on the private balconies with their wooden deck chairs and tables and enjoy the views. The lodge has been designed to maximise the use of natural lights and offer the best views possible.

Meals at this luxury lodge are chosen from the á la Carte menu and for larger groups a buffet table will be set up. The cocktail bar and private cellar both offer a fine selection of wines and spirits.

Your hosts at the luxury Cape Cross Lodge are happy to help organise excursions that demonstrate the amazing diversity of offerings available in the area. You can visit the biggest mainland-breeding colony of Cape Fur Seals, there are thousands of them, living, fighting for mates, breeding – as you can imagine it gets quite noisy and dare we say it, smelly.

Escape to the solitude and silence of the Messum Crater with its crystal rock saltpans and on the way stop off lichen fields and admire the Welwitschia plants, some of which are nearly 2 000 year old and referred to as living fossils, before moving on to view the enigmatic rock art of the region.

Of course this area is a favoured destination for fishermen and the luxury lodge will organise bait, tackle, meals and refreshments for your day at or on the water. The surfing is great here but you will need to bring your own board to experience the wild rides available at the Skeleton Coast, kayak hire is available. Go hunting for wrecks such as the Winston and learn the history of this desolate area.

Before you leave the Skeleton Coast make sure to visit a desert waterhole and experience the buoyancy of the water, similar to that of the Dead Sea!
