The Outeniqua Mountains and the graceful milkwood trees that line the banks of South Africa’s Knysna Lagoon in the Western Cape provide the setting for Under Milkwood Chalets. Part of The Milkwood Collection of Resorts, these timber log chalets are self-catering and designed for comfort. Each chalet features two bedrooms, a private sundeck with barbecue facilities, daily housekeeping, and a modern, fully equipped kitchen stocked with quality cookware.
For larger groups, the Milkwood Bay Guest House offers five en-suite bedrooms with private patios, a heated pool, a sauna, heated floors and elegant furnishings, along with direct access to the beach. Situated on the lagoon’s edge and framed by an indigenous garden, Sonomara Knysna Holiday Home provides two master en-suite bedrooms plus three additional bedrooms, each with either private balconies or garden-level access.
Guests staying at any of these properties can enjoy a wide range of activities. Walks and hikes lead to the dramatic cliffs of the Knysna Heads, while the lagoon and coastline are ideal for swimming, canoeing and windsurfing. Golf enthusiasts will find nearby courses, and the region’s rich birdlife makes it a favourite for birdwatching. Whether you seek relaxation on the beach or active outdoor pursuits, the accommodation choices in this collection offer comfortable base from which to explore the natural beauty of Knysna.
