BLACK EAGLE LODGE
Self Catering & Guest Farm
Accommodation in Caledon,
Western Cape, South Africa
Tucked away in the Overberg Mountains outside Caledon, Black Eagle Lodge and
Villa offer a tranquil farm-style retreat just 90 minutes from Cape Town. Revive
your soul, surrounded by nature, from the privacy of these beautiful
self-catering lodges, spaced nearly a kilometer apart, on the mountain slopes of
a working farm, hidden halfway between Caledon and Botriver.
Awake to the call of the sugarbird and unwind on an expansive verandah,
overlooking a spring-water dam and rolling wheat fields. Take the edge off hot
summer days in pools of cool spring water and warm up winter nights beside a
blazing log fire. Count the stars with the children and teach them to fly-fish,
collect frogs or spot a black eagle.
Offering respite from busy schedules, Black Eagle Lodge and Villa are ideally
suited to a holiday of total relaxation, whether it’s catching up on your
reading or pedaling the road. Reconnect with family and loved ones as you take
in the beauty of nature and explore the activities of this working farm.
Totally secluded from the world yet positioned centrally, one can comfortably
explore the surrounding areas of the Western Capes’Overberg - from Gansbaai and
Hermanus to Greyton. Savour the wines of the highly rated Hemel-en-Aarde and
Botriver region or float in the famous natural hot springs in Caledon, a mere 20
minutes away.
