Dear Penny and the Thulamela team, Thank you so much for making our 30th wedding anniversary so memorable. The effort you put into decorating the entrance and deck with roses was such a beautiful surprise. We loved the peace and quiet of the wooden units, and we were so impressed by the care and attention to detail you showed us during our stay. You made a special occasion even more meaningful for us.
