The Ca on (Canyon) Roadhouse is located 20km from the main northern viewpoint of the Fish River Canyon.
In Spanish, 'Ca on' is pronounced 'Canyon', and the name refers to the nearby Fish River Canyon. Ca on? 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.
The lodge is interestingly decorated with old car parts, found in the region.
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.
14 kms to city centre, 6 kms to the nearest airport (j. g. h. van der wath). |
