Back in 2008 we stayed at this very nice place. It is all set in a beautiful surrounding. The food was very nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. We went to the Fish River Canon and we were told that it was possible to have breakfast afterwards. Perfect! There is a big pool, a bit cold (but not unusual... More

The accommodation is very basic and we missed a lot of things in the room. No toiletries, no cupboard, no chairs (outside and inside), no TV. The bedlinnen is very thin and of cheap quality. Towels are not changed, so have to re-use the wet towels the next day. The rooms are quite noisy, you can hear your neighbours showering... More

We camped here for our first night in Namibia, and the campsite was great (this from a person who doesn't 'do' camping as such...) the ablution block allocated to our campsite was clean with hot showers, a clean toilet and basins with hot and cold running water - all excellent!! There was also an electric hook-up for our fridge which... More

This place is worth the stopover and purely for the way it is done up. Fantastic concept and a memorable set of images, photos that you could get of the place. For example, the reception of the hotel is a truck.... We used the camping sites and the ablutions provided were one of the best we've experienced. Recommend this. Good... More

Fantastic little discovery does not matter how many times a person go there. The old relics, cars and paraphernalia is not the typical dusty old run down restaurants and places to stay. It is a wonderful place to relax with a cold beer. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The camp site is well laid out and nothing short... More

What a outstanding place to stay especially as a camping tourist.

Despite being resident in southern Namibia, there is the first time we've actually stayed at the Canon Roadhouse - and what a thoroughly enjoyable experience it was! Set inside something akin to a motor vehicle museum, both inside and out, we spent hours slowly working our way through all the signage, vehicle chassis and other displays. The accommodation was simple,... More

Nice accommodation and very nice food and wines. Nice souvenir shop in the main building. Cars are everywhere in this lodge: between the tables, against the walls when serving as fireplace, outside... Walls are decorated by signposts in 4 languages and a (southern hemisphere?) clock. It may seem a bit chaotic but it actually is a very cosy setup. Staff... More
