Gordons Bay

Tucked in the shadow of the Hottentots Holland Mountains, this sunny holiday village has a small harbour and is a popular angling and boating resort. The letters ‘G.B.’ written in stone on the hillside actually refer to General Botha, the name of the training college for merchant navy officers, not the town named after Colonel Gordon, commander of the Cape garrison in the late 18th century.

The high twisting coastal road leading from Gordon’s Bay to Cape Hangklip is one of the most spectacular anywhere, and with its new coat of tarmac is an absolute pleasure to ride. Not only does this route offer wondrous vistas out to sea, across sweeping bays and vertically down into transparent sapphire shallows, but from July to November you will undoubtedly see the awe-inspiring sight of gigantic whales splashing around.

Somerset West

A residential town on the edge of the Cape Winelands dominated by vineyards and the craggy folds of the beautiful Helderberg mountains. At Vergelegen, one of the oldest and most imposing wine estates in the country, the camphor trees have been declared a national monument and the extensive grounds are delightful. Somerset West is a restful area of much greenery and close enough to sea and mountains to allow enjoyment of both.

The Helderberg area includes Somerset West, Strand and Gordon's Bay. The drive to Somerset West takes just 30 minutes from Cape Town along the N2. Close to Stellenbosch, this residential centre has a delightful setting and many of its residents commute to Cape Town daily. The historic N.G. Kerk (Dutch Reformed Church) was built in 1820 and is worth a visit. Visit the Vergelegen estate which eventually led to the downfall of Willem Adriaan van der Stel's corrupt regime.

Just 5 minutes from Somerset West is the seaside resort of the Strand which has a 5 km stretch of beach with warm water and safe swimming. This is a favourite area for anglers. Gordon's Bay is a water-sport paradise and a charming fishing village. Its position is marked by the painted giant 'GB' and anchor sign on the mountainside above the bay. The quaint fishing and yacht harbour bring a mediterranean atmosphere to this enchanting haven.

Strand

A limitless stretch of beach with safe swimming and a long promenade. This little town has a real holiday feel where the urge to buy an ice cream and stroll the beachfront is overwhelming.
