Summary: Really loved the access to the beach with this house. Great property with a large grass field with a gate opens to a path down to the beach. The bbq grill was very helpful for grilling in the evenings. House was a good size for a family of 4. Montys Restaurant across the street was also a great amenity. They host a fun hangout on weekend evenings and during XMas Eve.

Summary: The Gin Trap was an absolute blessing for my family, the experience exceeded all of my expectations. Communication with the host was excellent, and the location was exactly the peaceful beachfront getaway that my family was hoping for. The premises provided all the necessary facilities and conveniences for living and enjoyment of the location. It has a great open-outdoor space on the beachside, and the accomodation is comfortable and being inside does not impede your view of the sea. The Gin Trap was more than capable of accomodating and entertaining our family and our visiting-relatives during our stay. We are grateful for the experience and look forward to staying here again in the future.

Summary: Fabulous property right on the beach with spectacular views. Clean and cosy with everything required for a great holiday. Our dogs enjoyed the huge front lawn and long walks on the beach. Being fully fenced was perfect.

Linda S. Oct 14, 2025 05:05:50 AM

Summary: Wonderful location. Through the gate and you’re on the beach; further along to the estuary and Dotterel Reserve. A really comfortable home, good beds and furniture, great shower and a well equipped kitchen, if you don’t want to go to Monty’s over the road. Excellent information and communication from the hosts. And the dog comes too. Everything you need!
