“A fantastic Boutique Guesthouse!”
I recently spent five super days at Apricot Gardens Boutique Guesthouse. After a drive up a dusty gravel road, a fantastic place was waiting for me. You need a car or need to use Ûber or a taxi when staying at Apricot Gardens. The house is situated amazingly up on the little hill with amazing views over the bay. The beautiful garden is a tranquil and immaculately maintained place to enjoy the sun and the views, or simply relax with a book. Rooms are spotlessly clean with super comfortable beds and lavish bathrooms. Excellent breakfast, too. I really enjoyed my stay at Apricot Gardens! I wish Johanna and Tom, and their team all the best for the future. It is going to be exciting to be back at Apricot Gardens! With my sincere recommendations!

“Cute guest house set outside Gordon's bay. Lovely gardens with views of the bay and mountains”
The property is in an agricultural holding area so it's secluded from the bustle of the city. It's off the main road, with a short drive down a dirt road. You can see right out to the ocean with views of surrounding mountains. It's still close enough to the bay for Uber pickups during main hours. The owners are really friendly and super helpful. They personally cook and serve a delicious breakfast that is freshly made to order. Try the scrambled eggs! They also have two lovely dogs that calmly acknowledge you with a once-off sniff on arrival... After which you may get a slight nod from the dogs as they like to mind their business while napping and strolling round the property. It was super hot when we arrived so the fan and plunge pools were great to see. For food one can go into the city or order in from ubereats . We were in the self catering unit so ordered groceries from checkers sixty60. The unit had everything we needed including a dishwasher. Beds were comfortable and unit was cleaned every 3 days. You could request fresh towels as needed.
