Hi, my name is Paul Turner, I am British and married to Carrie. Originally from the UK, we now live and work in Cape Town. We have three grown up children. I fell in love with South Africa in 1999 when I visited and entered the Argus Bike Ride. We bought the land on Keurboomstrand, near Plettenberg Bay, in 2006 and developed plans to build our dream house over the next two years. We started building in January 2008 and and the house was ready for us to move in just before Xmas the same year. The location is breathtaking and we have tried to build a home that reflects the magnificent natural beauty of its location whilst offering all the facilities and modern conveniences that we and our guests enjoy. We are proud of the finished house which has become our 'Home By The Sea', a name inspired by one of my favourites bands, Genesis. We are never happier than when we are staying at the house. The views are simply stunning, the whales visit in season and dolphins all year round. Over the years, many guests have also loved staying at Home by the Sea. We used a local builder, architect and wherever possible local materials, fixtures and fittings. Our wonderful housekeeper, Clarice, is always on hand to help make our guests' stay as comfortable as possible, and our house manager Andrea will greet you and assist you with any queries and requests during your stay. We warmly welcome you.

Home By The Sea is the perfect place to relax and leave the world behind and to explore the beautiful garden route. The house has the modern luxuries required to make your valuable holiday enjoyable. The views are simply breathtaking and there is a sense of privacy and feeling close to nature. The beach is reached via a private walkway and you can walk for hours or just sit on the dunes and watch the dolphins all year long and the whales in season. The rim flow pool is solar heated and lovely and warm in the summer and you can enjoy sundowners on the roof with a panoramic view of the entire Plettenberg Bay.

Exceptional location, fantastic housekeeper, Clarice. Modern, stylish interior, bikes available plus pool and beach toys and games. Many great video classics to watch, DSTV so you never have to miss your favourite team, selection of books to read. Ocean facing sports bar. Outside fire with ocean views. Sheltered tranquil courtyard. Solar back up energy
