"This was designed as a stop to break up a very long drive and it served its purpose. The rooms are tired and the A/C didn't work.

2 nights
Arrived
18 Dec 2011
"Everything about the Fish River Lodge was spectacular - it matched the view perfectly. Watching the sunrise and sunset from the veranda of your chalet located on the edge of the canyon should not be missed.
We look forward to a return visit."

Eagle's Nest
"Eagle's Nest - a remote beauty"
2 nights
Arrived
20 Dec 2011
"Eagle's Nest was a beautiful remote location. We really appreciated having a self-contained unit with its own kitchen. Having a BBQ under the stars and choosing a wine from the well-stocked wine rack (in the room) was a real treat. The service at the main lodge was exceptionally friendly.
We look forward to a return visit."

Wolwedans Desert Lodge
"Wolvedans Dune Lodge - remote luxury"
3 nights
Arrived
24 Dec 2011
"Wolvedans lived up to its reputation. It is an incredible place to stay. Food was lovely, staff was friendly and the rooms were out of this world.
Wolvedans encourages mingling among the guests, including sitting at a large family-style table for evening meals and participating in group activities. Opting out of some of these group activities is possible but not readily offered by Wolvedans. If you wish to have a quiet evening meal on your terrace, you must ask for it."
