Just beyond the coastal fog line, with views over-looking the snaking Swakop River. This arid desert landscape and the nearby Moon landscape surround Gecko Ridge.

 

The gym and outdoor lapa overlook a semi-enclosed, sparkling saltwater pool, making it the perfect reprieve from the harsh desert environment outside.

 

This desert oasis has beautiful wooden decks, lush green gardens, and water ponds, which offer a serene atmosphere, and the lapa, with its south-facing views offer amazing views over the moon landscape, which you can enjoy, whilst relishing a sundowner.

 

Gecko Ridge also boasts a fully licensed restaurant, and facilities to host a wedding or year-end function.
