About

Black Eagle Lodge and Villa offer a tranquil farm-style retreat just 90 mins from Cape Town.

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 mountain lodges, spaced nearly a kilometre apart.

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 kids 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 reading a bestseller 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. The choices are endless, as are the spectacular views.
