Kalahari Flats

The establishment known as Kalahari Lodge offers hospitality and comfort through six private self-catering units situated in a tranquil area of the town. Despite its peaceful location, the lodge is within walking distance of the town's business district and restaurants.

Each unit is air-conditioned and well-equipped with amenities such as a refrigerator, two-plate stove, microwave, frying pan, crockery, cutlery, and cooking utensils. The self-catering kitchens are furnished with tea and coffee facilities, as well as rusks and two cereals. Braai equipment is also provided for guests.

The comfortable units feature double and single beds, and en-suite bathrooms with baths or showers. All bedding and towels are supplied, and during the winter season, the beds are fitted with electric blankets, winter sheets, and two thick blankets to combat the cold Karoo nights. Televisions with the Hotel Premium Package DStv channels are available, and guests have private entrances and verandahs where they can relax and enjoy sundowners. The lodge also offers uncapped WiFi access.

For those who wish to indulge in organic Karoo lamb chops and sausages, braai packs are available upon request. Each unit is equipped with an ironing board, iron, insect repellent, and emergency lamps. Hairdryers are supplied on request, and a laundry service is available for stays exceeding three days. The entire complex is fenced, well-lit, and provides lock-up parking for each unit.

Guests can visit the local museum, which hosts a variety of interesting exhibits, as well as the intriguing Corbelled House. Carnarvon is also home to the MeerKAT radio telescope, which is under construction in the Northern Cape as part of the bid to host the square kilometre array telescope against Australia. However, visitors cannot access the telescope site without specific appointments at certain set times.

If departments or companies book accommodation at Kalahari Lodge, arrangements can be made for meals to be served at local restaurants.
