Summary:

Blue Horizon Guest House is set against the backdrop of the majestic Hottentots Holland Mountains and surrounded by spectacular views. This family run guest house offers its clientele a calm, tranquil atmosphere with breathtaking sunsets across the bay and the awe-inspiring beauty of the mountains. Unwind in comfort, and enjoy our warm hospitality, cooling swimming pool and delicious breakfasts.

Gordon's Bay is the ideal destination for those visiting the Western Cape , as it is centrally located and perfect for venturing to Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Hermanus & various other towns, sights & attractions of interest.

This picturesque seaside town is a 1.5km drive from the Blue Horizon Guest House. Absorb all the sights and sounds of this quaint village as you stroll along the promenade, acquaint yourself with the various curios shops and enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants or outdoor cafes.

Perhaps you'd like to head out to the ocean - sail, fish, scuba dive and for those with a truly adventurous spirit, Gordon's Bay even offers Shark Cage diving, paragliding, cable water-skiing, wakeboarding, horse-riding and more...

Of a calmer nature, then a relaxing Sunset Cruise would be ideal for you. We also have some of the most stunning scenic drives in the Cape. Take the coastal route from Gordon’s Bay, and be amazed at the beauty — (you may even get to see a few cheeky baboons along the roadside), and from July to November witness the Southern Right whales as they visit our coastline to nurture their young. Stop in at Betty’s Bay Penguin Colony , just 34km from Gordon’s Bay and experience these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat. On sunny days you can spot a few ‘Dassies’ (Hyrax) soaking up the sun, as they lounge on the rocks, along the colony footpath.

For those of you who enjoy the beauty of the mountains, there are several biking and hiking trails in the area. There is even a wonderful guided walk & wine-tasting , taking in several Helderberg Wine Estates — pre booking essential. These estates are just 5km from Blue Horizon Guest House . A 25 minute drive will take you in to the heart of the Stellenbosch wine lands, and Franschoek ’s offerings are 70kms away.

Golfing enthusiasts have 3 eighteen-hole golf courses to choose from, within a short drive from Blue Horizon Guest House. Travel a little further a field and you will realise that golfers, visiting the Cape, are spoilt for choice.
