the corner of False Bay nestled between the aqua blue
ocean of False Bay and the stunning Helderberg &
Hottentots Holland Mountains. Only 40 minutes from

Winelands are only a 20 min. drive.

with its Mediterranean flavour and is known to locals as
“little Monaco” due to its beautiful coves, expensive
mansions and luxury apartment houses that nestle high
up on the slopes. There is a wide choice of excellent
restaurants and ample shops here for all of your
everyday needs, along with varied water sport activities.
Sun worshippers flock to the famous Gordon's Bay

Coastal Drive
The coastal road from Gordon’s Bay to Rooi Els and Betty’s
Bay, is a spectacular route with steep cliffs and lovely coves.
Locals refer to it as the Helderberg’s own “Chapman’s Peak”
and the route offers amazing views over False Bay, right up to
Table Mountain and Cape Point
Wine
The famous wine routes of Helderberg, Stellenbosch,
Franschhoek and Paarl are all picturesque trips, and within
easy reach. Sample a wine tasting at a choice of world class
vineyards and wine estates and buy a bottle or two to take
home to sip on your balcony or patio whilst enjoying the sunset.
Whales
Between June and December each year, hundreds of Southern
Right whales visit the sheltered, shallow bays of the South
African coastline to calve and nurture their offspring. Official
viewing points have been established - just look for the Whale
Route signposts on Clarence Drive, the coastal road leading
south from Gordon's Bay. If you follow the Beach Road through
Gordon's Bay past the harbour, you get on to one of the most
beautiful coastal drives in the world. The R44 towards
Kleinmond and Hermanus winds along a breathtakingly steep
coastline. Whales can often be watched here during the season.

Erinvale and Arrabella.
