CALEDON (Western Cape)
“Where hot springs meet Overberg charm”
Something unique about our little town…
There’s a relaxed elegance in Caledon — a town where healing waters, rolling hills, and old-world charm come together beautifully.
Situated in the heart of the Overberg, Caledon is surrounded by wheat fields, green valleys, and wide Western Cape skies. It’s a place where life feels slower, fresher, and naturally balanced.
Mornings begin with mist over the hills, while evenings settle into glowing sunsets across the countryside.
No chaos. No pressure. Just warmth, beauty, and calm.
It’s not just a town… it’s a place to restore.
A bit of history
Caledon was founded in the early 1800s and named after the Earl of Caledon, then governor of the Cape.
The town developed around its natural hot mineral springs, which drew visitors seeking rest and healing. Over time, it became an important farming and regional centre in the Overberg.
Today, Caledon remains known for wellness, agriculture, and heritage charm.
