Caledon owes its origins to the hot water springs on the slopes of the Klein Swartberg mountains.The hot mineral baths today form part of the Caledon Casino Hotel & Spa, an elegant establishment, known for its warm hospitality, well appointed conference centre, a variety of sporting amenities, beauty clinic and excellent personal service. Another asset of Caledon is the world-renowned wild flower garden and reserve and a wildflower festival in September each year.
There are many activities to do in the area, including trout & carp fishing, 4 x 4 trail, mountain biking, abseiling at the waterfall, hiking on all farm routes, water skiing with own boat and picnicking alongside the beautiful dam.
