Great place. Lovely decor. We made full use of the induction cooker and hammock. Only minutes to the beach and bus. Tee was great to communicate with. Looking forward to staying again

Lovely place right near horseshoe bay. Beautiful relaxing environment and the right size for a small family like us. Had everything we needed. Hosts were just so lovely and welcoming and had amazing tips on how to make the most of the island. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back and stay at this gem. Thanks Tee and Steve.
We absolutely loved our stay at The Gatehouse in Horseshoe Bay. It’s a charming, peaceful spot just steps from the beach. The house has two bedrooms—a queen and a room with two singles plus a cozy sofa area—air conditioning, a well-equipped kitchen, BBQ, and dining space for four. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and gave us great tips about the island. Restaurants and cafes are nearby, and the bus makes exploring easy without a car. We had a wonderful time and would love to return!

Thank you so much for the beautiful review on The Gatehouse, super happy you enjoyed the space, peace and charm, and being so close to the beach.
We would definitely welcome your family back anytime!
We had such a lovely time at this little quirky holiday home! The place has a fun, unique charm and was very comfortable for our family. The hosts were absolutely fantastic — super friendly, full of great local recommendations, and incredibly kind to our kids (they even gave them some books to read, which was such a thoughtful touch!).The location couldn’t be better — just a short walk to the beach and really close to everything else you might need. It felt like a perfect base for exploring the island. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a cozy, welcoming stay with great hosts!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Gatehouse. It was very comfortable with plenty of room and had everything we needed. We loved the light and ambience and the quirkiness of the design. Tee and Steve were wonderful hosts, very friendly, helpful and generous. We look forward to returning in the future and catching up with them again. Highly recommended.
This was the perfect place for my stay in Horseshoe Bay. There was supposed to be 2 of us staying, but it ended up just being me. It was clean, spacious and had everything you could possibly need, even a kayak. Communication with the hosts, Tee and Steve, was perfect and they checked in during my stay to make sure everything was going well. No hesitation in recommending.

Thank you Wendy, we glad you found your stay at 50 HSB perfect and appreciated the clean and spaciousness.
Thank YOU so much for leaving The Gatehouse in perfect condition!
You were the best guest and we hope to see you again.
The property is beautiful and well located although a little more than "footsteps" to the beach, it's a nice flat 5 min walk. We were comfortable at all times. Our host was super friendly and very helpful including services above and beyond expectations. We couldn't find the BBQ on the premises but there was one about 5 mins walk away.
We absolutely loved everything about our stay, the instructions prior to arrival from Tee were perfect, accommodation exceeded expectations, the location was exceptional, easy to catch the bus, close to the beach and all that horseshoe bay has to offer, and our hosts, Tee and Steve were wonderful, they were so accommodating, easy to chat to, and as they didn't have anyone coming in the day we left they offered for us to leave our bags while we went to the market and enjoyed the morning. The pace of island life was amazing, I sat in the hammock and read my book, and just enjoyed the experience. Thanks Tee and Steve, we will definitely be back again.
With only a short walk to the beach and shops at Horseshoe Bay it was perfect for us. With the bus stop nearby it was an easy commute from the ferry. Being such a lovely place to visit, if we come back again we'll be sure to stay here.
