Welcome to
Artists Cottages in Gordon’s Bay
There are 3 Self-catering suites that form part of a mountainside residency established in the 1980s based in Gordons Bay, still an original, quaint and charming village of the Western Cape, South Africa. We are located just beyond the old harbour and above the scenic Clarence Drive that meanders and hugs the coastline all the way to Rooi Els.
Uninterrupted views across False Bay culminate in the Amphitheatre of the Helderberg Mountain range and expand over the Strand across to Simonstown with magnificent sunsets viewed over the majestic Table Mountain.
Sit on the balconies, or on the poolside deck and soak it all in, enjoying the variety of activities in the bay from seals splashing around to dolphins parading in their droves. During the winter months, the Southern Right whales visit our Bay and can be seen breaching and birthing. Enjoy endless spectacular sunsets over the bay and Table Mountain as a backdrop to the horizon.
The Suites have separate entrances, on either side of the main house and offer complete privacy. Enjoy the terraced garden and share the garden pool with its infinity views over the bay. The Suites are equipped for self-catering, and braai facilities are available and are dependent on wind conditions.

Take a relaxing walk along the Danie Malan Hiking Trail etched along the mountainside, which is found at the foot of Protea Drive (same road as the property). Enjoy beautiful protea bushes and indigenous flora, perhaps get a glimpse of the Klipspringers and birds soaring above the mountain. From the mountainside, enjoy the best views over the entire town, harbour and bay while watching the sun slip behind the indigo-colored Table Mountain range.
The property is fully fenced, providing security for peace of mind and a relaxing stay. There is outdoor parking at the front of the property.
