Cañon Roadhouse

Lodges near the Fish River Canyon

The Canon Roadhouse caters for the mid market tourist. The lodge is interestingly decorated with old car parts, found in the region. This is an excellent lodge from which to explore the Fish River Canyon.

The Canon Roadhouse is situated on the Gondwana Cañon Park, and is located 20 kilometres from the main viewpoint of the Fish River Canyon. Coming from the north, it is the logical stop on your way to one of Namibia's greatest natural wonders. The Roadhouse offers everything the weary traveller needs. The 8 individually decorated en-suite rooms are gathered around an inner courtyard, creating a feel of tranquil homeliness. 6 double and 2 large family rooms provide accommodation for a maximum of 18 guests.

The a-la-carte restaurant is open all day and makes dining here an intimate and cosy experience. Great care is taken to provide guests with delicious food and personalised service, while a large terrace allows for alfresco dining during those long southern summer-nights. Due to the limited numbers of guests the Canon Roadhouse can accommodate, there is always a congenial atmosphere and the already famous "Wheels" bar has been the setting for many tall travellers' tales. Some large shade trees, a few grill areas, toilets and hot showers provide the camping enthusiasts with all the ingredients for a peaceful night under the magnificent stars. The large swimming pool and sundeck are tucked in between indigenous succulents such as hoodias and aloes.
