I am looking for a vacation rental in South Africa for one week on
either side of New Years, 2006.

Ideally, would like to find something on or very close to a fabulous
swimming/surfing beach, within a half day's drive of Cape Town.

My wife and I will be traveling with our infant son, and are a little
nervous about that, so would not want to stay anywhere too far off the
beaten path (we want to be reasonably certain that we'll have easy
access to diapers, baby food, and the thousands of other bits of crap
that we'd rather not have to shlepp with us accross the world).
