A short stop at Cape Cross Lodge - a cup of coffee after visiting Cape Cross Seal Reserve in Namibia.

#Namibia #CapeCross #SkeletonCoast

Literally metres from the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Cross Lodge presents a unique and serene stop for travellers along this vast untamed and seldom explored wilderness on the Skeleton Coast.
The Lodge is situated 60 km north of Henties Bay and 120 km 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.

Accommodation

The Rooms

The Lodge offers eighteen sea view standard suites and two sea view semi-suites. No matter the time of day or night, the large sea-facing windows frame breathtaking panoramas that can be enjoyed from every room.
All bathrooms are en-suite and while the first floor balconies offer a private space for one to enjoy the scenery, the ground floor balconies also provide direct access to the beach.

Four of the bedrooms have been linked with a door to create a family suite when needed.
Cape Cross Lodge also offers six rooms with wheelchair accessibility.

Whalers Cottage:

Our self-catering unit can accommodate 4 pax. This seaside cottage has an indoor "braai", open-plan kitchen with an under-counter fridge, small living /dining area and en-suite bathroom.

Museum

In 1486, the early Portuguese explorer, Diogo Cao, erected a padrao or cross on a small rocky outcrop along the desolate and unforgiving shores that hug the Skeleton Coast. Battered by sudden squalls and fierce windstorms, blasted by the shifting desert sands and baked under a relentless sun, the cross remained undisturbed by Europeans for four centuries.
Cape Cross has witnessed many a shipwreck and maritime disaster and is home to a replica padrao or cross that stands on a terraced platform within the seal reserve.
The museum, within the lodge, houses many remnants of past settlers who relentlessly withstood the harsh desert elements to mine rich deposits of fossil guano and to harvest seal skins. The first railway line in Namibia was established at Cape Cross and visitors to the museum can delve in its historical value. Souvenirs, postcards, small mementos and the history of Cape Cross in book form can all be purchased in the museum.
