    Nice to have a friendly welcome and a very comfortable room with all the facilities you need. The pool was really great, and has nice views of the surrounding area. Also changed my room to have a sea view, which I appreciated.

Company information

Blue Horizon Guest House is a family owned, and run establishment. It was my parents' dream (C.J & Cynthia) to have a guest house and I (Karen) have the pleasure of managing it for them. Blue Horizon Guest House opened its doors in March of 2006, and it is hard to believe that it has been 17 years since we welcomed our first guests! The time truly has flown by. We are blessed to be situated in the picturesque town of Gordon's Bay, with beaches, mountains and so much more.
