Shipwreck Lodge

The ten cabins at this boutique Namibia lodge are unusual boltholes indeed, mimicking the old boats washed up on the sand that Skeleton Coast is renowned for. They are crafted from light wood – emanating a Scandi-chic look – and are equipped with comfy beds topped with faux-fur throws, daybeds positioned next to the windows (so you can sit with a book in-hand while gazing out over the desolate sands), tea and coffee making facilities, and doors opening out right onto the beach and furnished private decks too. Wood-burning stoves make you want to lock yourselves away and cosy up come evening, while solar power provides heating for the water – the bathroom has a shower, flushing toilet and two brass sinks. Hairdryers are available on request.

Double Room

These standard rooms come with a choice of double or twin beds, plus en suite bathrooms and wood-burning stoves.

Family Room

As well as featuring en suite bathrooms, wood-burning stoves and double or twin beds, these larger rooms can accommodate families with up to two kids.

The wonderful experience of staying at Shipwreck Lodge is all about utter seclusion and immersion in nature, so don’t expect many five-star facilities here! There are plenty of 4WD vehicles for game drives, delicious cuisine and local drinks included in the package price, and a wonderful lounge with a terrace for moments spent relaxing and getting to know the other guests. Additionally, Shipwreck Lodge provides a complimentary laundry service for your convenience and there’s a Wi-Fi connection here too.

The Skeleton Coast National Park is an incredible destination to discover, and Shipwreck Lodge seeks to immerse its guests in the many surrounding wonders here. On game drives, you’ll have the chance to witness Lions, Black Rhinos, Hyenas, Zebras, Elephants, Baboons and Impalas too, as the Shipwreck team cover all the best spots around by 4WD. Look out for fascinating birdlife too, and out to sea where Cape Fur Seals thrive. There are then quad biking expeditions, sand boarding adventures, tours of nearby shipwrecks such as the Suiderkus and Karimona, trips to the Clay Castles, the Hoanib River Delta and the Mowe Bay Seal colony, and relaxing beach walks with sundowners as the day draws to a close.
