We would very much like the opportunity to welcome you to our home, built by us for your comfort and enjoyment.

Canyon Crest Lodge is a traditionally built English house, which the local people have named 'the Englishman's Castle'. Canyon Crest Lodge, as its name implies is built near the edge of the canyon in wild and natural surroundings and therefore we do not recommend it for children under the age of twelve.

Enjoy our English hospitality and stay in one of our 'Castle Suites.' Canyon Crest Lodge was built entirely by us and we are proud of our achievement. We will be happy to share the secrets of the traditionally built rock structure with 18' thick walls.

Canyon Crest Lodge are pleased to announce the introduction of 'Wine Maker's Dinners' a sample menu is displayed in our restaurant section. Please telephone for details.

We have recently built an addition to our already large deck area to house a 'Hot Tub/Spa' so one can still enjoy the views across the Canyon, Valleys and the Mountain Peaks whilst soaking in the spa.
