Rock View Lodge is located in the extensive tropical wetlands of the Rupununi, set in a lush tropical garden landscape, amidst several Amerindian communities. This oasis in the savannah accommodates guests in a comfortable, spacious self-contained room with hammock slung verandas overlooking the garden. Meals are served family-style in the company of your host who will share stories of local life.
Relax by the lovely natural-form pool in the gardens, snooze in a hammock in the shade of a tree or enjoy the afternoon breeze from the rocky outcrop overlooking Macarapan Mountain. The family ranch house features a wonderful eclectic selection of art and a library.
A unique Rock View activity is observing cashews being slowly roasted over an open fire or take a leisurely hike through the foothills of the Pakaraima Mountains, to see dawn rising over the savannah.
Rock View Lodge is nestled at the foothills of the Pakaraima Mountains on the Rupununi savannah and sits in the centre of several indigenous communities. It is conveniently located close to the main road connecting Georgetown and Lethem and only a few paces from the Annai airstrip.
