Gordon's Beach Lodge is a family run guesthouse situated in the heart of Gordon's Bay, one of South Africa's leading travel destinations. Wammy and Louise Ellenberger, along with their dedicated staff, strive to offer a highly personalised and professional service.
The family ensures each guest is made to feel right at home, with all the luxuries of staying as a guest.
The white sandy beach, called Bikini Beach, which is well known for its safe and protected swimming is within walking distance of the guesthouse. The beachfront is lined with restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, bookstores and curio shops. At the harbour, one can reserve boat trips or deep sea fishing charters.
"Tailor made" service is offered and no guest's request is too large or small. Anything that can be done to make your stay more comfortable is accommodated.
Gordon's Bay is a small, picturesque seaside village in the corner of False Bay nestled between the aqua blue ocean of False Bay and the stunning Helderberg & Hottentots Holland Mountains.
Activities in the Vicinity
Being only 40 minutes away from Cape Town, we offer the ideal stopover to or from the Garden Route and the last retreat before you hit the buzzing Mother City. The world famous Stellenbosch wine route is only 20 minutes’ drive away which follows onto Franschhoek. Golf courses such as Erinvale and Arabella are also on your doorstep.
Strand, Kogel Bay, Betty’s Bay, Pringle Bay and Kleinmond are all excellent surf spots within a short drive from here.
The Crystal Pools hiking trail is not even a 20 minute drive from the guest house. This is a popular and easy hike to a series of mountain pools in a kloof. It is unofficially known as Crystal Pools, but it officially forms part of the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, and the hike is along side the Steenbras river gorge. Beautiful waterfalls are alongside the pools that you can actually jump into.
The penguin colony at Stony Point at Silversands, Betty’s Bay, is only half an hour’s drive from the guesthouse. The most natural environment to see penguins. Arguably much better than Simon’s Town.
Furthermore there is excellent deep sea fishing as Gordon’s Bay has two harbours where charters can be organised from.
