In 1486,Diego Cáo, an early Portuguese explorer, erected a cross on a small rocky outcrop along the desolate and forbidding wastes of the Namibian skeleton Coast. Battered by sudden squalls and fierce windstorms; blasted by shifting desert sands; baked by a relentless sun; and shrouded with dense fogs, the cross stood undisturbed by Europeans for four centuries. Today, a replica of that first cross stands proud in a terraced landscape; a tribute to those seafarers who landed on a stretch of coast as unique, and remarkable, as you will ever find.
A large glass frontage, fire-burnt clay tiles, comfy chairs, the sheen of polished wood, and the flickering warmth of fireplaces conspire to impart a classic simplicity to the lounge and dining areas. A fine a la carte menu is served to small groups, while a larger assembly is able to savour a sumptuous buffet. The lodge also serves lunch for day visitors and is the perfect rest spot for those travelling the Skeleton Coast or Damaraland region; while the cocktail bar and private wine cellar provide a selection of exemplary wines and spirits to satisfy even the most particular of wine connoisseurs. Your stay here is all about what you want - and special requests can easily be met; including honeymoon packages, private beach dinners and romantic picnic excursions into the surrounding desert or along the bay.
Cape Cross Lodge offers 20 luxury double rooms, classically appointed with attention to detail, yet alive with rustic charm. Views through the large windows are breathtaking, no matter what the time - day or night. The en-suite bathrooms are a statement of elegant simplicity, while the private balconies glow with the warmth of wooden deckchairs and tables, providing unrestricted sea views and an aura of complete respite.
