Gim House is a self-catering apartment in Bairro Comunal A on the rising ground north-west of Ponta do Ouro village. It looks out towards the sea, has the use of an outdoor pool and comes with parking on the plot. Gim House is a modest, independent option for guests who would rather have their own flat than a lodge room.
Best for
Gim House suits couples and small families with a vehicle who want a self-catering apartment with a sea outlook and a pool
It suits guests wanting to walk to the beach or have meals provided less well, as the shore is stated at over a kilometre away and nothing is catered
Location
The apartment is in Bairro Comunal A, on the slope north-west of the main village at Ponta do Ouro. In a straight line it is about 2.9 km north-west of our Ponta do Ouro village reference point, with the listing placing Ponta do Ouro Beach at 1.6 km. The setting is a residential bairro rather than a beachfront strip, and the elevation gives the stated sea views.
Rooms and style at Gim House
The accommodation is listed as an apartment, non-smoking, with family accommodation among the options. The number of bedrooms, the bed layout, the bathroom arrangements and the kitchen equipment are not set out in the available listing, so establish the capacity and what the kitchen holds with the owner before booking.

Trade-offs and what to know
The beach is a drive rather than a walk, so a vehicle matters here
Nothing is catered on site and village shops are small, so bring supplies
Bedroom numbers and kitchen contents are unpublished and need confirming

Ponta do Ouro is reached overland from the Kosi Bay border post with South Africa or by road south from Maputo, and local roads are sand. Ask the owner what vehicle is needed for the approach into Bairro Comunal A. Free parking is provided and no airport shuttle is listed.
