Situated on the shores of Knysna Lagoon, Under Milkwood Resort is set amongst milkwood trees. It offers wooden chalets with fully equipped kitchen and a private sundeck.

All chalets at Milkwood Resort come with satellite TV and a work desk. Accommodation is offered in wooden chalets with fully-equipped kitchens and a private sundeck.

The challet is very cosy and confortable. The place is amazing between the trees and right in front of the sea. We like the braai facility provided and the kitchen was well equipped. Free parking was provided next to our challet. When the tide is low, it is a great long walk on the beach.

Located on a dune at Brenton-on-Sea main beach, Brenton Haven Beachfront Resort offers well appointed, beach-front homes and luxury suites. Free parking is available on site.

Guests can work out in the fully equipped, air conditioned gym, which comes with treadmills, cross trainers, spinning bikes, a rower, cable machines, plus substantial free weights and benches. There is also a centrally located, outdoor pool overlooking the ocean.

We stayed at a lovely apartment with a nice patio and garden. From the pics on Booking we have thought it was an ocean front apartment but unfortunately it has a partial view of the ocean. Still nice though. We had great sunsets from our balcony. The kitchen was very well equipped. But to have some basic stuff like salt, cooking oil would be great. The pool area is nice and was very quite. The beach is walking distance and the parking place is a plus.

    From the start, we loved the Simola Hotel! It's a beautiful Hotel, the staff was so friendly and we were greeted with so much professionalism! The suite we stayed in was also amazing, spacious, with beautiful decor! Wish we could've stayed another few nights but we had places to be the next day. This is really a gem of a Hotel. Next time we are definitely bringing the kids along too as the whole resort is very family friendly. Just have to say again, the staff is fantastic!

    The hotel is beautifully located at the see shore. They provide canoes and bikes to enjoy yourself. I had a suite that was very spacious and provided any luxury. The diner is for guests only and was excellent.

    It was an intimate resort, not too many guests yet everyone was friendly. It was very tranquil as well and although we had a fun time in the sun, we felt relaxed as if we had break away from life.

    We had an exceptional stay at this hidden gem. The cosy atmosphere, impeccable service, and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. The room was tastefully decorated, providing comfort and tranquillity. However, what truly stole the show was the breathtaking view from our window. A panoramic spectacle that seamlessly blended nature's beauty with modern luxury. Waking up to such a picturesque landscape made our stay truly unforgettable. Highly recommend for those seeking a perfect blend of comfort and awe-inspiring scenery.

    The absolute luxurious suite. Very comfy bed. As the house is on top of a mountain in the Pezula golf resort you have a magnificent view on Knysna and the lagoon with great sunsets. And at night you only hear the crickets.

    We spent a night of luxury here after completing the Otter Hiking Trail. Lots of extras in the cottage to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. The resort offers some paddle craft for early morning exercising too.
