Scenic spot

Scenic spot on nice waterfront. Good swimming and canoeing available free. Some cabins on steep steps with views, others easier access with limited views. Can walk across the sands at low tide but car needed for visiting Knysna to do anything else. Small café nearby for breakfast, 2/3 miles to bars and restaurants.

What made me give less that a 10 is that I was expecting more peace, based on the pictures. Bungalows are very close together and everybody was BBquing. Holiday weekend. Hard to sleep early and even breathe, with the smoke. Other than that, perfect location

Local belo e aprazível

Localizado em uma área de vegetação exuberante e de belas paisagens próxima ao The Heads View Point. Se você decidir ficar hospedado por aqui é recomendável que venha de carro. Como o resort fica de frente para um lago e ficamos hospedados no inverno (julho/2019), as temperaturas estavam ainda mais baixas. O único senão é que a unidade na qual ficamos não possuia sistema de aquecimento/calefação e a minha esposa reclamou muito do frio à noite.

Nice hotel close to beach

If you are ok with self catering this place is good. The only problem was parking was tight when all spaces filled you had to work hard to get small car out of allocated space

Great hotel

We loved this hotel. The cabins are beautifully decorated with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and more. It is on the lagoon which is stunning and just a short drive up to the eastern head viewing point. Would definitely recommend this.

Nice hotel with beach activities

The resort was nice and had beach activities. The location of the resort is really nice and property itself is beautiful and maintained. The parking on uneven surface is tricky, otherwise parking is not an issue. You can park car just next to your chalet. Overall we liked the resort.

Possibly best location in Knysna

everything was excellent. the upgrade to the waterfront room was completely worth it. Only thing that was not OK was the WiFi. Our room had no signal or a very weak signal at best. We gave up on using it.

The place for space and relaxation on Garden Route

Lovely self-catering chalets, on the lagoon with private access to it. Well appointed chalets, bathroom and shower room, deck and barbecue facilities, easy access to shops, the town and restaurants but peaceful and easy going. Nothing on the TV so we had a DVD streamed to us. There is a small amount of free wifi, but it is available all around Knysna or you can buy extra time from Reception. We found it an excellent spot to recharge our batteries for the next round of travelling and eating.

Relaxing family holiday

Stayed on water front unit- more expensive than others but you have a patio in from with in obstructed views looking away from knysna heads over the lagoon Braai has free wood and more if you need Wi FI 100mb free on wireless which is not sufficient but a token and possibly enough - but not ideal as there were time limits etc- you can buy more if requires Kids were sick and staff helped exceptionally well to assist next day Restaurants walking distance - Senza resturant not great Fridge in unit Small heater in unit- unit a bit cold if middle of winter but I am sure if I had asked they would have brought another heater Plenty clean blankets etc 2 bathrooms in unit- I with shows one with toilet- big Units are clean and basic but more than what you need Limited Tv and very small but if you have the view not a problem I would not take a middle unit as no view Parking very cramped Beach in front of houses could get loud from other guests and off the water but we had no issues and slept well Big bonus- you have free canoes 1,2,3 seater so ideal to take kids or spouse for a paddle at high tide and walk on a huge open beach at low tide Will definitely stay again

Amazing Unforgetable Stay!!! WOW Factor

Absolutely magic location right on the lagoon beach front. Parking is a little tight BUT there is always a helpful visitor or staff member to assist. I only have one complaint and that is I booked on Trivago site and one of the major reasons I chose to got with Hotels.com although not the cheapest option I did not have to pay a deposit upfront. BUT Under Milkwood automatically deducted 50% of the booking value from my credit card. Yes they refunded it when I sent a copy of my booking conditions BUT due to Buy & Sell forex rates I was out of pocket over R120.00. When I checked out I mentioned this fact hoping that I would have been given some kind of rebate/compensation - but that was not the case. Would I go back ABSOLUTELY I can highly recommend the beachfront bungalows. Just a note that in cold windy weather they might be a bit chilly as they are delightful log cabins so not entirely airtight!!

Nice Chalets in great Location

Directly located in the heads of knysna, the under milkwood is a really nice place to stay. We had a great view from the honey moon challets, which was also very cosy and had a big terasse. The bath rooms could have been a Bit cleaner.
