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
Welcome to all past, present and future guests. I personally run The Gull with three wonderful staff members. I have been hosting guests at The Gull for the past 8 years and I love meeting new people from all walks of life. Gardening is a huge passion of mine and I am mad about the beautiful birds that frequent our magnificent garden every day. I look forward to welcoming you all here to this magical piece of heaven in the Garden Route.
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.
