It is so central to all the Cape's Tourist attractions, and itself is the perfect town for a sea side holiday.

It is on the fringe of the Stellenbosch wine route which starts in Somerset West, 10 minutes drive from Gordons Bay, whilst Strand shares the coastline.

Cape Town is across the bay and is only 30 minutes drive, and the Cape Town International Airport is half way between Gordons Bay and Cape Town.

To the south, over Sir Lowry's pass, about 30 minutes drive, is Hermanus, famous for Whale watching, whilst Gordons Bay and False Bay has it's fair share of Whale sightings.
