Shipwreck Lodge is an exclusive lodge nestled between the sand dunes with the most beautiful views for guests to enjoy from the restaurant deck. There are fun activities available for the more adventurous, guests are given an opportunity to learn about the rich geological history of the area and the fauna and flora that have learned to adapt and survive in these harsh conditions, and an absolute highlight is a sundowner trip to the dunes.
The Rooms
The lodge has ten chalets, the design of which has been cleverly designed and inspired by ships that have been wrecked along the Skeleton coast. They chalets are spread out along the sand dunes so that guests have the pleasure of waking up to spectacular desert views from their own private deck, and the sound of the waves and refreshing Atlantic Ocean breezes. Eight cabins come with double or twin beds, and two cabins are family units. All cabins have private bathrooms, including showers, and are equipped with a safe and wood-burning stove for guests to keep cosy on chilly nights. Shipwreck Lodge prides itself on maintaining a light footprint by using eco-friendly water and waste management and using solar-power.
