Very welcoming and helpful hosts, warm and full of ideas as to how to spend your day. Excellent restaurant. The chief selling point, though, is the unique location - brought about by chance after the sea broke through, you are right at the fulcrum of the ocean and the lagoon. Much fun to be had using the house kayak to... More

The rooms were large, as were the bathrooms. And the views were amazing. Our host, Kees, was very kind and helpful. We took the kayaks across the river mouth to the sand bank and spent the entire morning walking, swimming in the current, with almost no one else for miles. Breakfast was huge and delicious. Lemon Grass, the restaurant attached... More

We spent 4 wonderful nights at Milkwood Manor. The views are spectacular the rooms really comfortable and clean and it was great falling asleep to the waves of the ocean. The hosts are also veryhelpful in recommending places to visit and good restaurants. Although we were there during the New Year and school holiday season it felt very private and... More

It's one of the best place we stayed on our 3-week journey. It's breathtaking entering the room and facing the sea right in front of you! Warm welcome, best advices from Mr. Kees, who for sure is the soul of the house! Well: the bathroom is very small and not very comfortable, but the room is big, clean and bright.... More

This hotel is stunningly position right on the water's edge, with brilliant sea views and nicely apart from the more touristy areas of town. The owner, Kees, took special efforts to welcome us and recommend activities around the area - we very much enjoyed hiking along the Robberg Peninsula, our whalewatching trip, and Birds of Eden, all recommended by Kees....

What a spot. I don't think you could come up with a more amazing location right at the rivers mouth with water almost all the way around! Kees and Craig were great hosts and did a great job sorting out reservations for us over Christmas when we showed up with nothing booked! We had two suites adjacent to eachother for... More

When we said goodbye to Kees, Craig and everybody @ Milkwood Manor it was as though we were leaving home....so comfortable, friendly, helpful and @ home they had made us feel! It is impossible to get closer to the sea & the lagoon and the views from the restaurant and the roof of the guesthouse were breathtaking! The staff greeted... More

It has already been said that one of the things that makes Milkwood special is the perfect position on the waters edge and for exploring the Garden route. The other thing that makes it special is Kees' knowledge and passion for the area....he says if you can stay three weeks he can suggest something different for every day! Having breakfast... More

if you are looking for a special place - milkwood manor is the one!! right on the waters edge, but only because a big flood in 2007 washed the trees and beach and the pool !! away. so now you can look out onto the keurbooms river and the stunning, remote beach opposite. take a kajak and paddel across and...
