If you’re traveling along South Africa’s famed Garden Route, Plettenberg Bay is an absolute must-stop—and nestled right on the water’s edge is a true gem: Milkwood Manor. We recently spent a night at this charming beachfront guesthouse, and it completely exceeded our expectations.
Located where the Keurbooms Lagoon meets the Indian Ocean, Milkwood Manor offers the kind of peaceful escape that instantly slows life down. The sound of waves, the soft sea breeze, and the beautiful views from our room made for an incredibly relaxing stay.
What We Loved:
Direct Beach Access: Step outside and you’re just a few feet from the sand.
Stunning Views: From our room, we could see both the lagoon and the ocean—a perfect sunrise spot.
Quiet Luxury: The rooms are tastefully furnished with an elegant, old-world feel while still offering modern comfort.
Breakfast with a View: The on-site restaurant, The Lemon Grass, serves breakfast right on the water. Fresh, flavorful, and serene.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a peaceful solo stop, or a base for Garden Route exploration, Milkwood Manor checks all the boxes.
