The Lodge is situated on the edge of the canyon with spectacular views. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with a nice big shower, however, the shower head fixture had been fixed with a finger plaster and was shooting water out in all directions.
The food is ok, not great, and I would have expected a higher quality at a lodge in this price range.
Great location obviously sitting right on the rim. Good food and wide selection of drinks. Good service. Strange you don’t get a Wi-Fi voucher for each night stay as we ran out on final night of our 2 nights. Appreciate you can buy more access but really for a hotel of this standard you should get one voucher per night. Trip into canyon worth doing, whilst it’s a full day and on some bumpy roads, to be able to get to swim and lunch near the bottom was a special experience.
Stunning place at the edge of the Fish River Canon!
Almost everything is great, but there are two issues the Lodge should care about:
WIFI: If all the guests are crowded with their devices on the 20m² where you have Wifi reception and then want to make constant WhatsApp calls, then you should urgently think about a better WIFI (preferably also in the rooms)!
Pool: the pool is great and I don't want to imply that the water in the pool isn't clean, but if you can't see the bottom at a depth of approx. 1.5 m because the water isn't clear, then you get a bad feeling.
The view from the lodge was nice, though I don’t think it was worth the extremely long drive to get there (the detour to this lodge added 3 days to our itinerary). I was disappointed by the guided full-day hike into the canyon. The guided hike had a large (and very loud) group of about 10 people, and the guide Fillamon didn’t speak much English so he didn’t really tell us any interesting facts about the canyon or anything else. He also walked much too fast, not pausing for enough breaks. The guided hike has almost no good views as you hike deeper into the canyon; that’s the problem with downhill hikes. The sundowner was similarly crowded with loud people (a group of at least 20), which really detracted from the nature experience. We didn’t experience that many crowds anywhere else in Namibia. However, you can do some self-guided hikes along the rim of the canyon, and that was nice. I wish they just allowed you to hike into the canyon without a guide; I don’t really feel like you need a guide for it if they’d just provide a map, so it’s frustrating that you’re not allowed to do it without a guide.
The view is stunning, the drive in the canyon and the swimming in the river is great, foods is very good. Downside is the noise that the wind can generate in the room (you get earplugs for this), no aircon in the room but it’s understandable and manageable.
Struttura unica ed esclusiva, costruita proprio sul bordo del canyon. Le camere bellissime, lussuose e spaziose anche loro affacciate sul canyon. Abbiamo inoltre apprezzato la possibilità di fare escursioni scendendo all’interno del canyon, solo questo lodge permette tali attività in quanto ha un accesso esclusivo. Noi abbiamo optato per il canyon drive ed è stato molto bello e interessante
Die Lodge ist deutlich teurer als vergleichbare Lodges in weniger guter Lage. Aber den Preis ist es trotzdem wert.
Dinner und Frühstück sind gut. Jetzt im Juli ist es abends sehr kalt in den Zimmern, aber es ist trotzdem auszuhalten.
Ich empfehle den Rimwalk (ca. 2 Stunden hin und zurück). Nur hier hat man einen richtig guten Ausblick auf den Canyon.
Der Canyon Drive ist ebenfalls zu empfehlen. Aber Achtung: Es klingt wie ein gemütlicher Ausflug, ist aber aufgrund Straßenverhältnisse (teilweise fährt man einfach über die Steine) auch ziemlich anstrengend. Am besten die vordere Sitzreihe wählen, da sitzt man am niedrigsten.
Die Lodge ist gleich am Abhang zur Schlucht und liegt phantastisch. Das Essen ist sehr köstlich, und der Service ist phänomenal. Wilhelm hat uns in die Schlucht gefahren mit dem Landrover. Und auch gleich ein Essen hingezaubert. Ein toller Multitasker: Driver, Cook, Hospitality-Experte, lieber Mensch. Wir haben uns sehr wohl geführt. Unbedingt 2-3 Nächte buchen. Die Fahrt in die Schlucht MUSS sein.
L’endroit est exceptionnel, la route est longue mais quelle découverte ! Grande chambre très confortable avec vue imprenable, très bons services. La cuisine est bonne et variée. Bonnes prestations proposées. Guide très intéressant.
Wifi en panne mais suite à de violents orages
Phantastische Oase direkt am Rand des Fish River Canyons. Traumhafter Blick mit schönem Pool. Super Service. Sehr schöne Chalets mit Außendusche. Anfahrt die letzten 20 km ein echtes Abenteuer. Besser mit 4x4.
Die Fish River Lodge ist ein echtes Highlight einer Namibia-Rundreise. Alleine die (lange) Anfahrt über teilweise herausfordernde Schotterstraßen vermittelt einem das Gefühl von Abgeschiedenheit.
Die Lage direkt am Rande des Fish River Canyons ist einzigartig. Die Chalets sind ein Traum. Groß, modern und doch in die Landschaft eingepasst. Mit wunderschönem Blick aus dem Fenster. Zudem besteht die Möglichkeit die Matratzen nach draußen zu verlagern und den unglaublichen Sternenhimmel zu genießen.
So einen Sternenhimmel wie dort habe ich noch nie gesehen. Auch nicht an anderen Orten in Namibia. Die völlige Abwesenheit von störenden Lichtquellen und die klare Luft machen das zu einem unvergessenen Erlebnis.
Abendessen und Frühstück waren vorzüglich, wie auch der gesamte Service. Leider hatten wir nur eine Nacht gebucht und konnten daher den Canyon-Drive nicht mitmachen.
Een prachtige en unieke plek. mooie accommodatie ,ruim en netjess. Het uitzicht over de canyon was grandioos.We maakten een dagtrip de canyon in naar een rockpool, met mooi en helder water, heerlijke lunch en 1 van de hoogtepunten van onze trip in Namibië. Enige minpunt: als het hard waaide (en dat doet het daar regelmatig) dan giert het om je huisje en is slapen lastig.
Der Ausblick ist schlicht unschlagbar. Personal und Service ausgezeichnet - nicht nur wegen der abendlich im Bett positionierten Wärmflasche:) Abendessen bei Kaminfeuer sehr gut und auch das Frühstücksbuffet bestens. Der Canyondrive war lohnenswert und abenteuerlich. Wir verbrachten hier zwei herausragend tolle Tage auf unserer dreiwöchigen Namibiareise.
Qualsiasi cosa desideri c'è. Struttura fantastica,panorama da svenimento, solo il rumore del vento ti accompagna.
Cura per il minimo dettaglio,dai tappi per le orecchie alla borsa dell'acqua calda nel letto.
Un cielo così pieno di stelle non lo avevo mai visto.
Cucina definibile gourmet,eccezionale.
È il Paese delle meraviglie!
