Although not widely advertised, one of the interesting points of this lodge is its quest for self sufficiency. This includes making their own cheeses and yoghurt/ curd, growing a wide range of vegetables and raising a variety of livestock. (Ro 08/07) Tall weather-beaten granite boulders mark the location of the lodge and form an integral part of the overall design. An old farmhouse, originally built in 1908 by three Bavarian brothers, has been restored to serve as the Lodge Restaurant. Its main attraction is an awe-inspiring view of the canyon landscape, which needless to say, makes a meal at the restaurant truly an experience not to be missed. 25 Single rooms Double rooms Twin rooms Triple rooms 30 bungalows, built out of natural rock. All units are thatched and equipped with comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms. The boulders, cool to the touch and smoothly rounded by an eternity of erosion, protrude into the rooms to make them blend in with the natural surroundings. Just 20 kilometres from the main viewpoint of the Fish River Canyon National Park, off the dusty D324, you'll find the Canon Lodge, an oasis seemingly in the middle of nowhere.
