MORGAN BAY - BOOK EARLY FOR THE EASTER BREAK.
LARGE TWO BEDROOMED SPACIOUS HOUSE WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR HOLIDAY STAY ENJOYABLE AND COMFORTABLE. REGRETTABLY NO CHILDREN OR PETS.

Whilst sitting on the deck, feet up, watching the sun set, gin and tonic in hand, aaaah! what could be better. The coals on the braai should just about be ready for those scrumptious steaks and boerewors that you brought with you. Prawns and Calamari are for another night, maybe with some good friends who will bring along the Vino.

Waking up is another experience, it gets light really early and somehow you just can't stay in bed. The Sun rise is so beautiful with the birds singing and the horn bills watching your every move. The view of course just takes your breath away making you realize that Morgan Bay is a truly special place to be. Mmmmmmm, smell the bacon sizzling under the grill, with your eggs waiting to be cracked open and gently eased into the pan. Shall that be one egg or two this morning love? I am sure all of the above rings a bell and is a pleasant reminder of what holidays are all about. "I'll join you with my fresh fruit and yogurt this morning, lets sit together on the deck and enjoy the view"

All bedding is supplied, but not towels.
There is a satellite t.v. in the main bedroom, which allows you to watch your favourite programs. The main bedroom has a small lounge/reading area, giving you a choice of staying in bed or sitting on the comfy chair. you will need your Dstv smart card.

If you would like a house maid, just shout! this can easily be arranged as we have our lovely Mavis always waiting in the wings to tend to your every need.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you want to spend your holidays in Yellowwood Place.
