designed, private suites (choice of suites, to suit individual

Overlooking a traditional fishing harbour with stunning views
across Walker Bay to Hermanus and the Cape Point just 2 hours
from Cape Town, Saxon Lodge is a perfect location for relaxation
and exploring the Overberg region.
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. Saxon 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 Hamel & 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 Saxon 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 their Casino,
or visit a Spa with series of hot mineral spring pools - indulge
yourself with a massage or beauty treatment!
