if you are into old cars this is the place for you as they have them everywhere even in the dining area. the room was very comfortable and we were able to get tea or coffee before going on a very early trip to fish river canyon for sunrise and coming back for breakfast later. More

We stopped for a meal at Canon Roadhouse heading back from Ai-Ais. It's a magical place - in the middle of nowhere, this giant restaurant, bar and accommodation offering is like a green motor-car themed oasis. With the best chicken mayo sarmies we've had in years served on thick homemade white bread, plus ice-cold bottles of coke, the visit to... More

Middle of nowhere. Fish River Canyon the main attraction, an hour or so distant. Worth getting up early to wander across the road to the hide. Or wandering along the Wildebeast track. Lot of birds in the early morning. Food is good, lot of game meat. Night sky is magic. Rooms are clean, reverse cycle aircon if you're there in... More

Stayed for a night at the campsite - and was thoroughly impressed. The grounds are spacious and beautifully maintained, and all the camp sites are secluded with plenty of shade, ideal in an otherwise semi desert location. There's a small but picturesque swimming pool, a gallery with a display on the conservation work in the nearby Canyon, a gift shop,... More

My husband and I spent 3 weeks travelling through Namibia. We stayed at the Canon Roadhouse for the last 2 nights of our holiday. What a lovely experience - from the very friendly and efficient staff, beautiful rooms, good food to the interesting decor and friendly horses!! I would definitely recommend it to my friends and I am looking forward... More

I just loved everything about the Canon Roadhouse, we stayed 3 nights and had a perfect time. Our room was lovely, perfectly clean and we could watch the amazing sunrise from our bed. The whole place is beautifully decorated with old cars, also the restaurant / reception - I just loved this place. Breakfast was very good, a huge buffet... More

Rooms were simple but comfortable and arranged motel style in the very pleasant grounds. The restaurant is more like a motoring museum so dining there was quite surreal, not the most comfortable dining room, but one not to be forgotten. The food was of good quality and portions generous. Well located for Fish River. Worth staying here fo a couple... More

The place seems to be in the middle of nowhere. It is car themed and I guess this one is a question of taste but wasn’t really my cup of tea. I had a room on the ground floor which was clean and comfortable. There is a pool and some paths to walk around. I found the place a bit... More

We stayed here as part of an overland tour and were impressed with the accomodation. The room had a yellow/red/car theme and was very spacious. The beds had clean sheets and were comfortable to sleep in. The bathroom was also a decent size with excellant hot showers. There were plenty of electricity sockets to charge cameras etc. A kettle and... More
