GANNAGA LODGE

Gannaga Lodge is situated in 20 hectares of its own ground within the Tankwa National Park. It is located in the Roggeveld Karoo, in some of the most spectacular countryside in the Northern Cape, at the summit of the breathtaking Gannaga Pass.

The Lodge lies 28 kilometres from Middelpos on the dirt road between there and Ceres. Middelpos itself is situated on the R354, exactly halfway between Sutherland and Calvinia. Gannaga Lodge is the only establishment within the boundaries of the National Park that offers bed and breakfast, half-board and full-board accommodation, as well as restaurant and bar facilities.

The Tankwa National Park (formerly the Tankwa-Karoo National Park) has recently been greatly extended through the acquisition of land both above and below Gannaga Pass. While the park cannot offer the big five, it can offer small animals, bird and plant life in abundance, as well as two radically different types of Karoo scenery, climate and ecology (above and below Gannaga Pass).

FACILITIES:

The reception building – constructed from local stone retrieved from old farm outbuildings – is air-conditioned and contains a well-stocked bar (with DSTV), spacious lounges (including a library of over 750 books in English and Afrikaans), the dining room and a meeting room suitable for seminars and small conferences.

From here, you enjoy glorious views towards Langkloof and over the Gannaga Pass into the Ceres Karoo and our swimming pool is just a stone’s throw away.

The kitchen specialises in traditional local food, using local produce wherever possible (including, of course, Hantam lamb – the best in the world.
