Shipwreck Lodge Restaurant
The restaurant of a lodge shaped like a shipwreck, deep inside Skeleton Coast National Park and open to guests only. Its three-course dinner and beach barbecue are highly praised.
Shipwreck Lodge lies deep inside Skeleton Coast National Park. The restaurant is in the main building, with sturdy wooden tables and a living room with a wood-burning stove. It serves only guests, and the room rate includes all meals and afternoon tea. Breakfast is a buffet with hot dishes made to order. Lunch has two courses and dinner has three, typically black bean soup with homemade bread, fish or beef tenderloin, and chocolate amarula cake. Dunes or beach dining can be arranged on request, and one guest said the beach barbecue of sable antelope ribs was the best meal of the entire trip. Supplies arrive only once a week, yet reviewers still describe the ingredients as fresh and excellent. Getting there requires first reaching Mowe Bay, then a two- to three-hour transfer by the lodge's 4x4 vehicle. A minimum stay of two nights is required.
