The lounge and dining areas have lovely fire places to ensure a warm and cosy atmosphere – especially in winter when it can get quite chilly.. The cocktail bar and private wine cellar provide are great places to relax after a hard day of watching the seals!
Cape Cross was the first European landing place in Southern Africa in the year 1485. as a memento a replica of the original cross was created and erected on the beach. Visitors can enjoy the history of the area as well as a visit to the Cape Fur Seal colony. If you are alert you can spot the black backed jackal or the brown hyena looking for a baby seal to grab!
Other activities offered at the lodge are a visit to the petrified salt lagoon where you can try your hand at salt mining, or enjoy the start lunar landscape of the Messum Crater.
