It's a perfect little chalet with all you need and the beach at your feet.

This is a little paradise. Upon arrival, the caretaker was friendly and assisted with all questions. The place was immaculate. We immediately took the little path to the beach and spent sunset there. The kids loved the massive TV. I loved the outside shower. This is the perfect place to stay. Close to all amenities and the beach, shopping, etc. Can't wait to book another stay.

Wonderlike gasheer en -vrou, gerieflike verblyf, skeppend met smaak gemeubileer. Rustige atmosfeer en mens voel dadelik tuis. Die strand is op jou drumpel and inkopiesentrums is om die draai. Ons sal definitief weer hier kom afpak en sommer die woefie saambring.

Ons wou nie huis toe gaan nie.

Wonderlik. Moeg van ry. Toe ons daar kom word ons verwelkom deur pragtige mense. Rob en Li-Mari. Moeg weg. Die cottage was netjies en warm. Dadelik het ons die omgewing ontdek. Tuine pragtig. Gasvryheid uit die hemel. Ek het nie woorde om die pragtige warm, liefdevolle, asemrowende plekkie te beskryf nie. Nooit gaan ek weer n vakansie hou as dit nie Milkwood Beach Cottage is nie. So baie dankie, Robert en Li-Mari. Oe moenie die uitstaande kos vergeet nie. Sjoe en die gasvryheid, liefde, eendjies, strand, tuin, huisie. Nee, ons kan aanhou met als. Dankie Robert en Li-Mari. Dis ons tweede huis. Lief julle.

Great. Tired of driving. When we got there we were welcomed by wonderful people. Rob and Li-Mari. Tired away. The cottage was neat and warm. We immediately discovered the area. Beautiful gardens. Heavenly hospitality. I don't have words to describe the beautiful warm, loving, breathtaking place. Never will I go for another holiday if it is not Milkwood Beach Cottage. Thank you so much, Robert and Li-Mari. Do not forget about the outstanding food. Wow and the hospitality, love, ducklings, beach, garden, cottage. No, we can keep mentioning everything. Thanks Robert and Li-Mari. It's our second home. Love you.

Excellent breakaway. Thanks!

After driving 1200 km from the Kalahari, we were all tired and pretty irritated. The warm welcome from Rob and Li Mari soon made us forget our woes. Great place with great people. Thanks for making Lienkes first ever visit to the sea a memorable one. Absolutely nothing lacked. Beautiful clean beach which we had all to ourselves on more than one occasion. Thanks Rob and Li Mari, can and definitely will recommend Milkwood to any and everyone.

Beste Martin en gesin,

Dankie vir die mooi woorde.

Met mense so oulik en plat op die aarde soos julle kan mens mos nie anders as om die beste in jou te laat loskom nie. Dit was so lekker om daar by julle verby te stap as julle buite doenig was en mens met vrymoedigheid 'n geselsie kon aanknoop omdat mens kan voel hierdie is mense wat dit sal waardeer.

Nogmaals dankie.

Wat 'n verrassing toe ons by die plek kom. Tiener kleinseun was in die wolke oor hy net kan stap en visvang. Naby alle winkels, maar buite die geraas. Al wat jy hoor is die see en die natuur.

Just perfect, in every way!

An absolute week of bliss enjoyed by both the humans and furkids, definitely a hidden gem on our beautiful South Coast! Our unit was great and the beach theme was well received by us Vaalies - everything we needed was available in the unit, which is well stocked with utensils, crockery, towels etc. The braai facility at the unit was kept super clean too. The direct beach access was an absolute treat and the table and chairs on the beach made for fantastic sundowners where we could watch the whales and turtles. Robert and Li-Mari are fantastic hosts who go out of their way to make your stay as memorable as possible - thank you guys for arranging our breakfast and birthday beach dinner! Something that will not easily be matched both in scenery and the delicious food! We had a brilliant stay and will definitely be back.

Liewe Hendrik en Carin en dominee Lol en Brakkie,
Julle was sulke oulike gaste. Haai, ons kon die huisie sommer uitverhuur vir die volgende mense sonder om eers skoon te maak, haha! Ons het darem probeer maak of ons skoongemaak het, maar daar was omtrent niks om te doen nie. Dis so lekker om mense te hê wat mens se plekkie so waardeer en los. Verder was julle so rustig. Ons was amper nie eers bewus van julle hierwees nie. Baie dankie. Ons hoop om julle gou weer te sien.
