Cape Cross Lodge is situated meters from the cold fertile Atlantic Ocean; a serene haven for visitors to this vast untamed, seldom-explored wilderness. The curious mix of Cape Dutch and West Coast fishing village architecture with colossal windows happily embraces the natural light and affords endless contemplative vistas.

The large patio, overlooking the beach and ocean, flows into the lower deck with its warm, welcoming reception area and intriguing curio shop housing an array of gifts.

Leading from this charming space is the comforting cocktail bar and lounge, a quirky wine cellar and two cozy dining sectors. Around this tranquil oasis lodge lies infinite ocean and desert, littered with the eerie remains of man’s past endeavors. Nearby rocky outcrops provide a perfect playground for a large seal colony. The fascinating lichen fields of the area include all six species, while pensive reflection will reveal the “Little Five” – the reptiles, birds, insects, scavengers and carnivores.

Cape Cross Lodge offers 20 luxury double rooms, classically appointed with attention to detail, yet animate with a rustic charm that is bewitching. Views through the large windows are breathtaking, no matter the time of day or night. The private balconies glow with the warmth of wooden deckchairs and tables, affording unrestricted sea views and an aura of complete respite.

The flickering warmth of fireplaces conspires to impart a classic simplicity to the lounge and dinning areas. The private wine cellar provides a selection of exemplary wines.
The Lodge caters lunch and dinner (A la Carte) for day visitors and is the perfect rest spot for traveling the Skeleton Coast or Damaraland region. Special request can be met; include honeymoon packages, formal occasions, private beach dinners and picnic excursions into the surrounding desert or along the bay. Cape Cross Lodge can also facilitate small conference groups and private corporate functions.
