The resort is located in the southern end of the Fish River conservation area and occupying a bend in the riverbed. Acacias provide the shade and the surrounding cliffs of the canyon and the Hunsplato Mountains provide the dramatic backdrop.
Ai-Ais, in the local language of the area, means "burning water" which aptly fits for the drawing card here is the sulphurous hot springs. Dip in. It's therapeutic. The spa facilities here are really what you came for: the thermal baths and heated swimming pools. Ideal if you've just come from hiking the mighty Fish River Canyon.
Accommodation is basic and comes in three forms: bungalows, self-catering chalets and camping. Facilities here are more resort-like than most of the so-called resorts and these include a restaurant, bar, shop, kiosk, outdoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, hot spa, tennis courts and a filling station.
Sightseeing; walking trails; drives to Fish River Canyon viewpoints; walking trails; hiking trails and scenic drives
The hot springs are a major attraction here and the indoor spa is a great place to soak your weary bones and tender feet after a multi-day hike through the canyon.
