This is undoubtedly one of the best areas for Whale Watching from our stunning
De Kelder's cliffs - or a boat cruise around Dyer Island (marine bird sanctuary)
and geyser Rock (Cape fur seal colony), when you can have a really "up close and
personal" encounter with these magnificent creatures in their own environment.
High whale season for Southern Right Whales is August to the end of December
when there are many "mother and child" encounters - awesome!!! Gansbaai is the
International Mecca for Cage Diving with Great White Sharks and we specialise in
arranging shark diving experience for individuals and groups. The Lodge has been
host to many dive groups and TV crews from around the world who come to
experience and film this "ultimate adrenaline rush"
We have the only fresh water caves along the Southern African coastline; marine
nature reserves and wetlands with amazing bird species (11 of South Africa's
endemic bird species can be found in this area!). Unspoiled beaches that stretch
for miles with a lagoon and rock pools for safe swimming. Experience some of the
world's richest flora - this area has hundreds of varieties of fynbos and
stunning proteas as well as ancient milkwood forests. Coastal and mountain
Hiking, Horse Riding; shore and boat based Fishing; a 9 hole Golf course and a
Bowling club, Scuba diving and Surfing give the visitor a variety of outdoor
activities. Sunset Cruises, Wine tasting in the Hemel & Aarde valley (Heaven &
Earth valley) with some 8 wine estates; cheese tasting on a cheese farm and beer
tasting in our local micro brewery, for folk who prefer to relax and enjoy the
fruits of the Overberg.
For those who like to explore, the Overberg has a number of options: just over
an hour's drive to Cape L'Agulhus (where the Atlantic and Indian oceans really
do meet!) climb to the top of the light house and visit the lighthouse museum.
Your journey via Elim a charming historical Moravian mission town with a stone
water mill and the only monument for the abolition of slavery in South Africa is
well worth the drive. Lunch at Arniston (the whole fishing village is a national
monument with original quaint thatched fishermen's cottages). Complete your
journey back to The Lodge, via Bredasdorp, which has the only shipwreck museum
in South Africa. Or you can visit Caledon, 45 minutes away and try you luck at
