Experience an African hideaway only 100km's from Cape Town ...
Black Eagle Lodge
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.

DIRECTIONS

The lodge is situated on Kempsrivier Farm. The closest town is Caledon. 

From Cape Town 
Take the N2. Go over the Houwhoek Pass; drive past Botriver and at the Dassiesfontein Farm Stall (before Caledon) turn right, taking the Waboomskloof turn-off. Travel on this gravel road for approximately 8km until you get to a T-junction where you turn right and then, approximately 50m on, take the first left. 
After about 3km you will see the Kempsrivier Farm gates. Continue through the gates and directly on to the main house (reception). From reception, continue on the same road through the oaks and up the hill where, before the shed, you will see a sign to the right directing you to the Lodge. Follow this road for about 2km up to the Lodge.

From Caledon
Turn right at the silos (Cemetry Road) and drive past Superquick and the traffic department. The road turns to gravel, take the left fork over the railway line. Travel on this road for approximately 10km (past the farm Franskraal) and turn left at the sign to the Lodge. After about 3km you will see the Kempsrivier Farm gates.
