South AfricaThe Gull is a wonderful flat, 2 steps away from the ocean. The flat is spotless, spacious and with all the tools and equipment you might need in a house. Ruth was very welcoming and always available for our needs.
United KingdomThe Gull, is clean, fresh, and has a great atmosphere, the host was friendly and very helpful -, there was nothing you needed to ask for, few steps then on the beach, or in the gym - with a restaurant just next door, all in walking distance Self catering - Met all our needs from a Pizza over to a coffee plunger. Its truly a home away from Home!!

FranceThe owners were very hospitable and friendly. We (2+2) enjoyed our perfect stay.
IsraelExceeded all expectations!! Still can't believe the cost compared to what is included. We made some great pizza in the outdoor oven which was a bonus. Kids loved the free wifi. So close to beach that you hear the waves while in bed. We enjoyed the welcome surprize on table... Next time we will stay longer!!
South AfricaThe whole property and location exceeded our expectations. Clean, spacious and beautiful view. Easy access to the beach was the cherry on top.

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.

Legal information
Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
