| 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.
