The location is ideal. Gordon's Bay is a nice little town, not far from Cape Town or the airport. The setting is spectacular, with mountains and sea, and the beach is protected from major waves. There are a number of excellent restaurants within walking distance. The town is safe and the property secure. There is a beautiful drive along the coast towards Betty's Bay, which I highly recommend. There is a colony of African penguins there.
Big Skies has a small pool, which we used in the heat of the afternoon. The breakfasts were very good, and there was a decent amount of variety. I enjoy the personal attention of guesthouses and small hotels, and Kobus and Irene were excellent hosts. Conversation at breakfast and the bar with them and other guests was enjoyable.
Parking is inside the property gates and is secure.

We had a peaceful stay, except for the electricity and water issue, everything else were perfect. The view and big pool were amazing. The house sitter Gert was very accommodating, friendly and super helpful. Will definitely recommend this place to family and friends.

We know Gordons Bay very well as we used to own a property there. It's a quiet delightful village with 2 fabulous beaches, a few great restaurants and bars as well as a working harbour.
In nearby Strand village, there is a fabulous fine dining restaurant 'De Brasserie' owned by a local Belgian family of wine producers - utterly stupendous!

The views of the sea from the hotel were exceptional, the hotel was situated in a clean and safe area. Close to amenities, restaurants and the beach , hotel service was great (the lunch and dinner service of the restaurant is a bit slow but the food is good) . I’d definitely recommend this to anyone!

Great location for beautiful views and boat rides, plus whale watching in winter. Easy access to the Elgin region for wine farms, Somerset West and Stellenbosch. Alternatively take a ride along the coast to Betty's Bay, the penguins and Hermanus. Stay 2/3 nights and explore this beautiful part of the Western Cape.

A gem hidden just outside the hustle and bustle of Cape Town. A very lovely getaway that allows the perks of being near the tranquil beach while still having amenities very close by.
It’s a nice break from the city.
We loved the warm welcome, the hosts sympathy. The place was cozy, clean, charming, and organized. Despite having load shedding (as usual in South Africa), the generator was very nice, but being surrounded by natural beauty from mountains and beach, we don't want to focus on electronic things. Our room with a view to the ocean allowed us to witness beautiful sunsets. The breakfast was rich, healthy and fresh. For sure we will come back to spend more weekends!
Blue Skies is very well situated in Gordons Bay, easy to get to and very close to the sea front. What was so good was that every little thing one might need in a Bed and Breakfast hotel had been supplied, it was so thoughtful too. Seriously good cooked breakfast and so much else on the buffet from juices to cereals,yogurt, toast, jams, a selection of teas and coffees and many other things. The staff were so friendly and accommodating.
Accomodation is spacious and well furnished. Bedrooms are large and comfortable.
The balcony and dining room overlook the beach, which is about 20 m from the front door. The area is secure and feels safe to walk around even at night.
The braai (barbecue) area at the back is closed off with enough seating for a large family.
The beach is clean.
The location was perfect being a stone throw away from the beach and close to restraunts. The views from the apartment watching the breathtaking sunset from your balcony is beautiful. It's a great getaway spot for family and I absolutely loved that both bathrooms had chrome wall mounted bidets.My kids loved being there.
Amazing views of the ocean right at your feet. The accommodation was clean and comfy. Beds had electric blankets for those cold evenings and there was an inverter to heat up the place. It had everything you require for self catering too. Breakfast was delish. The staff were absolutely amazing especially Dastan.
Everything!!! Michelle was super host, always available and the apartment was sparkling clean, extraordinary view, super comfy sofas, amazing pool and it felt like home not a cold hotel room. Top quality and solar powered!! I can't wait to go back when it will be available!!!! Absolutely LOVED it!
A beautiful apartment that was well equipped to make our stay perfect. The apartment is beautifully decorated and had a homely feel. The location was great as we were able to walk down to the beach front and enjoy a meal at the restaurants. There was safe parking.
This hotel is just superb! The desk manager helped us so much, the rooms were to our liking and were super clean and well equipped. The breakfast was delicious!
Just over all an amazing stay. I will definitely return.
I loved that as you entered you don’t meet the host like a hotel it gives one a private moment to enter the place. The view is beautiful, it’s private . Great gate away . It’s so beautiful
The location was amazing, right on the beachfront. The apartment is the best we've been in in a long time, it is extremely well furnished and everything about it was just pure perfection.
The location was in walking distance from the beach,shops restaurants etc
Beautifull view. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
