The hosts were very warm and friendly. The location was ideal, the short walk to the beach was lovely. The cottage was neat, clean and very homely, equipped with everything that was needed. We even enjoyed a few early morning badminton sessions.

Ruth was really welcoming. The cottage was perfectly situated and very clean

Petzwinkler South Africa

Lovely apartment with own garden, barbecue area and very close to the beach.

Lilllil Germany

Wonderful flat. We stayed in the flat closer to the sea (there are two). Everything inside is superb - all the implements you can hope to find, a very comfortable sitting area, wonderful kitchen and bathroom. Significantly better than most self-catering, and much more like a high-end guesthouse, yet with the freedom of self-catering. Sliding doors lead to grass area, and steps across a dune, to get directly to the beach. Myoli beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Very nice braai area - even a small gym! Beds were great. We were concerned about noise from the the next-door restaurant, but there was none. Exceptionally clean. Full marks on all fronts.

Michael South Africa

Ruth was very warm and welcoming. Everything was as expected, neat and tidy just as advertised. Birdlife is beautiful😍, I've never seen so many different birds in one place. You have to experience it for yourself.

Cindy South Africa

The unit that we stayed in was newly renovated and had everything one could need. The pizza oven was a great bonus and the kids loved making their own pizzas. The location is right on the beach so great with kids.

The Gull is basically home away from home, equipped with everything you could possibly want for a self-catering beach holiday. The property is also situated near a beach restaurant for those that don't want to cook or a short drive into town to all the other wonderful restaurants. Each unit has it's own private barbecue area and there is also a communal fire-pit, pizza oven and well equipped gym on the premises. The bird life is amazing and so are all the other creatures that happen to visit us every now and again like tortoises, bush buck, mongoose, etc
I run The Gull with my husband and one of my sons. We are all passionate about wild life and have been involved in helping to save wild life for many years in various different fields. I personally am mad about birds and really enjoy the birds that arrive in our garden. We also enjoy taking a walk through Birds of Eden near Plettenburg Bay where one can get really close to birds that you would normally really have a hard time seeing like the elusive Knysna Turaco.
Myoli Beach is a very naturally beautiful and pristine beach. Partake in numerous water sports or take a walk along the beach and see fossilized sand dunes, snorkle at Gericke's point or watch the breeding pairs of African Black Oyster Catchers. Look out for dolphins, whales, seals and all the other sea creatures. Take a walk to the river mouth and see an abundance of different water bird life including the beautiful fish eagle. There are also so many adventurous things to do in and around Sedgefield so if it's the outdoors you want then this is the place to be.
