Fish River Lodge

Awe-inspiring vistas are not the only selling point of this unique property. Perched on the rocks high above the canyon, all 20 private chalets feature rooftop windows ideal for stargazing. Only eight metres from the cliff edge, all are built in a slick contemporary style, somehow seamlessly blending into their surroundings. The airy rooms feature dry stone walls matching their rugged landscape outside. If you wish to spend a night directly under the stars, your bed can be placed outdoors. Overlooking the canyon, the restaurant serves home-cooked meals. There is an indoor bar and another by the pool with panoramic views. If you can pry yourself away from the pool, go on a hike, bird watching or a sunset drive.
