Cape Cross Lodge

Cape Cross Lodge is literally metres from the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Cross Lodge present a unique and serene stop for travellers along this vast untamed and seldom explored wilderness on the Skeleton Coast.

The Lodge is situated 60km north of Hentie’s Bay and 120km north of Swakopmund. The curious mix of Cape Dutch and West Coast fishing village architecture nestles colossal windows which embrace the natural light and reveal endless vistas. Around this idyllic oasis lies Infinite Ocean and desert, littered with the eerie remains of man’s past endeavours.

Nearby, rocky outcrops provide a perfect playground for a large colony of Cape Fur Seals. Visitors can self-drive or even walk to the colony ensuring they first visit the Ministry Office to complete entry requirements. Whether you are an overnight or day visitor, Cape Cross Lodge welcomes you and invites you to explore the beauty of its natural surroundings.
