Nestled on the shores of False Bay and scenically wedged between the majestic Hottentots Holland mountains and the golden, sun kissed beaches, is the "Jewel of False Bay", Gordon's Bay, just 40 minutes drive from central Cape Town and 25 minutes from the International airport. Gordon's Bay boasts 2 harbours, with beautiful, clean, safe swimming beaches as well as active golf, horse riding, tennis and bowling clubs.
The Cape Winelands and the wine and fruit routes are only 10 minutes away, and there are at least 5 championship golf courses within a 15 minute drive. Nature lovers flock here because of the glorious hiking trails and breathtaking scenic drives along its coastline - a perfect spot to watch the whales and dolphins between July and December, or see the penguins at Betty's Bay. For the more adventurous, experience shark cage diving off nearby Dyer Island.Harbour Island is Gordon's Bay's latest internationally recognised Waterfront development - considered a millionaire's playground and a yachtsman's paradise. Offering the best of both worlds, a slice of Cape tradition spiced with a taste of the Mediterranean, there are many restaurants within walking distance of the hub of this quaint sea village.
Gordon's Bay benefits from a mild Mediterranean climate, north facing (unique in Cape coastal resorts), while still overlooking the sea, the summers are warm and dry, with mild winters.So whether you wish to just soak up the sun on one of the famous beaches, set sail and enjoy a sunset cruise, play a game of golf, or taste some of South Africa's excellent wine, its here, right on your doorstep. The tranquility and security, the spectacular north facing 360 degree views across the entire Helderberg mountain range, and across False Bay to Table Mountain, makes Gordon's Bay the place to be.
