Gordon’s Bay is a sunny north-facing village enjoying the warmer waters of False Bay, nestled on the sea shore at the base of the Hottentots Holland Mountains. Gordon’s Bay has an authentic, relaxing South African atmosphere and so close to Cape Town yet away from the hustle and bustle of traffic and the Cape Town city. This ‘Gorgeous’ Gordon’s Bay is ideal for a family holiday, a romantic celebration, a solo getaway or central base for your business trip or golfing holiday.
Gordon’s Bay, Heart of the Cape!
Gordon’s Bay is centrally located close to Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Hermanus. Gordon’s Bay, also referred to as Heart of the Cape because there are at least 40 things to do within 40km! Exploring the Cape and you don’t like packing and unpacking every day to see another destination? Stay in one of the many Guesthouses, B&B’s, Boutique Hotels, Self Catering Suites or Apartments and explore all the famous places like Hermanus, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, Cape Town, Muizenberg and Kalk Bay, from one place, all in a one hour drive.

You play Golf and planned a stay in Gordon’s Bay? Gordon's Bay, with two 18 hole Championship Courses within a fifteen minute drive (no pun intended!), four more within 30 minutes, and a further seventeen more within one hour, can confidently lay claim to being the perfect base from which to explore and experience, the wide variety of terrain and settings, "off-course" experiences, friendly atmosphere and value for money that golf in the Western Cape provides.
Enjoy our spectacular sunsets!
Gordon’s Bay is famous for the spectacular sunsets! Watch as the sun slips behind the indigo-coloured Table Mountain Range across the Bay and the sky lights up. Tones of peach, apricot, gold maroon and violet swirl in amazing cloud patterns and shine on the Helderberg Mountains, which reflect pink hues onto the patchwork of vineyards in the Helderberg wine region.
White sandy beaches
Gordon’s Bay offers sunny, white sandy beaches lined with quaint seaside restaurants or shady milkwood trees. The gentle shallow water warmed by the sun is a delight for you to suntan and swim or for youngsters to safely play in rock pools. Bikini Beach, awarded Blue flag status for cleanliness and safety, is next to the picturesque Gordon’s Bay Harbour.
False Bay has warmer water compared with Atlantic Beaches in Cape Town!
Sea temperature in summer often reaches 22 °C (72 °F) in False Bay due to the South Easter wind blowing the warm Agulhas into False Bay. Whereas on the Atlantic beaches (in the City of Cape Town) the same wind pulls the warm surface water away from the coast, and this is replaced by very cold water from great depths, usually 6 - 14 °C (45 - 57 °F).
Our unique two harbours
Unique in South-Africa, Gordon’s Bay boasts two harbours. Our picturesque Gordon’s Bay Harbour and the Blue Flag-rated Harbour Island Marina where large cruisers and other sea craft are safely moored offering a delightful setting for seaside dining and sipping the excellent local wines.
It is not about things to do around Gordon’s Bay but how much time you have?
