    Santie the host was amazing , very very pleasant experience. Amazing sunset. Room was comfortable. The only thing I did not like.... was that I did not book for a longer stay. This place is good for the mind and body

    The host Santie was very friendly, helpful and professional. The place is a gem and very accessible to amenities. Very safe and tranquil. I would recommend it again and again.

Property information

14 Penguin Place is matchless and unique in the sense that it is situated right on the beach front. All it takes is a leisurely stroll down the garden path to get on to the beach. Close your eyes and be lulled to sleep by the sound of the breakers at night.

Neighbourhood information

The beauty of Melkbosstrand lies in that while retaining its small village feel, it offers many big city comforts, e g a beautiful shopping mall called The Birkenhead Centre. Here one would find Pick and Pay, Clicks, Pep Stores, Postnet, walk-in branches of Absa and Standard Bank and many more. Melkbosstrand is home to a number of highly-acclaimed restaurants. The village is self-contained in the sense that it is rarely necessary for visitors to venture further afield to buy supplies. We have a reliable My Citi bus service. Because of its windy conditions during January and February, Melkbosstrand draws water enthusiasts - especially wind surfers - from right across the world.
