A charming sun-soaked retreat dwarfed by a magnificent mountain range only 45 minutes from Cape Town, Gordon's Bay is a picturesque harbour town found in the Western Cape's Helderberg region. Visitors to this serene seaside town can expect world-class cuisine, championship golf courses, quaint oceanfront shops, and breathtaking sunsets. For the outdoor enthusiasts, the family-friendly 2.9km Danie Miller Hiking Trail with sweeping views of Gordon's Bay, False Bay, and the harbour is recommended. The Crystal Pool Hiking Trail is a hidden gem that offers a refreshing payoff of gorgeous natural rock pools. The village is strategically set on the famous whale route to Hermanus along the scenic Clarence Drive, a mountain pass with spectacular views of the Cape coastline, and the wine route from Sir Lowry's Pass in Somerset West to Stellenbosch and Franschoek.
