Hi Cherry. Gatehouse is super nice. Yes it is right at the gate and the private patio on one side is the entrance fence so if you are outside you hear people ring the bell and such but I enjoy it. At night you hear the dogs, people round the neighborhood but for me it is all the sounds of Jamaica and it is soothing to me. If you are easily disturbed you may feel differently. The open air shower is amazing. The room comfortable. Full size fridge/freezer and microwave. No cooktop or coffeemaker (but coffee is ready by the sea from 6:00 am with all the trimmings so no problem). Hammock and table w/2 chairs on patio. Cable; AC plus you can enjoy the whole amazing property (pool, jacuzzi, private rock sitting places on the sea, loungers, gardens, awesome bar and food. This is my last choice of units on the property but I took it because to me any room at Catcha is great. Hope that helps and thanks for the feedback on my reports.
