Plato Lodge

“If you want absolute peace, this is the place to go for a complete reset and a free digital detox:-)”

This family‑run lodge feels like a welcome hug in a remote corner of Namaqualand; the views from the room are stunning and the breakfast—fresh bran muffins, a full English with yoghurt and fruit—feels lovingly prepared, especially given how isolated the place is. The room was quite dusty, likely because of the surrounding environment, and the terrace wasn’t the cleanest, but it’s a minor point worth noting for improvement.

“We really enjoyed our stay at Plato Lodge and recommend it.”

We had a fabulous breakfast with freshly made muffins. The dinner we arranged for that evening was excellent. The view, sunrise, and sunset were beautiful to watch, and stargazing was also good. The one shower head didn't work, but otherwise nothing else.

Second stay at Plato lodge because it's our favorite place near Augrabies. Easily accessible on a very good gravel road, middle in a stunning nature, quiet, beautiful rooms (only 5 in total) with stunning view and sundowner. Adorable owner and excellent food. We highly recommend !

“Just beautiful and everything we wanted.”

The location was spot on, letting me relax and soak in the surroundings. The owner went above and beyond when I had a problem with my rental car. The only downside was that the electricity seemed to be out temporarily when my arm was twisted, but that didn’t matter much since luxury wasn’t my main focus—nature was the real draw.

“Great stay at a beautiful location”

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, with an amazing location that offered a beautiful view from my comfy room. The friendly hosts made sure I had everything I needed, and the food was great too. However, I did find the air conditioning in my room to be a bit inadequate, and I was surprised to find that there was no pool available during my visit - although I was able to swim in the nearby river.
