"Dear Myrna and Michael, beautiful house and view. We had wonderful weather. We loved the fact that you could just walk over the dune and be on the beach. The fynbos is rich with bird and animal life which we also enjoyed thoroughly. We also liked the fact that this part of Pearl Bay is still quiet and secluded. We see that your house is in the Jan 2011 issue of Garden and Home. Congratulations!! Thanks for the lovely stay."
