Lovely getaway!

Lovely hosts Yasmin and Olivier greet with warm smiles and present a beautiful gem of a property overlooking the Gordon's Bay beach front. There's a lovely little splash pool and acces to regular hotel amenities. Overall great view and a lovely staycation getaway outside of Cape Town.

Lovely Stay At Gordon's Bay

This is an amazing place that comes with a very lovely view. The couple who runs the inn are quite friendly and professional. They run a very nice hotel which is represented by their attitude towards their establishment. If you are looking for a quite and beautiful place outside Capetown, I highly recommend this Inn in Gordons Bay. I don't think you can find a better and more comfortable place ti relax. Oh by the way, I almost forgot- they serve an amazing breakfast. Best one you will find ANYWHERE. Stop by and spend a few days, YOU WON'T REGRET NOR FORGET IT. jcBridges

AMAZING PLEASE

This peaceful Stunning Haven of relaxation has the most Chilled atmosphere and we could not fault in anyway. With views to die for and a fantastic fresh breakfast and beautiful tasteful decor throughout. Olivier has his French roots centre stage with Edith Piaf singing gracefully in the back ground whilst his hosting skills are top notch.

Nya ägare som har ambitionen o viljan att lyfta stället upp till sin potential. 50m till stranden. För middagar behöver man ta uber till Strand 15 min bort där hittas utmärkta restauranger. Gordon Bay är litet o lugn, utmärkt som hub för utflykter
