Welcome to The Milkwood Collection
Dear Guests,
As you may already know, on Monday, South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, announced a nationwide lockdown to help in containing the spread of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19). Therefore, The Milkwood Collection will be closed for three weeks, from Thursday 26 March 2020 until Thursday 16 April 2020.
Please be assured that our guests with bookings that are affected during the period of this unavoidable closure will be fully refunded. For our guests that are currently on the resort and who have to shorten their stay, we will happily refund the unused portion of your booking. We will endeavour to contact all our guests and would like to sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Please note that our telephones will not be manned during this period. In case of an emergency, you may contact our general manager on +27 (0)82 498 0299.
Although you cannot visit now, we hope that you will come to see us soon. Until that day arrives, we will continue to post on our social media channels to provide some inspiration for future travels – and to bring back happy memories if you’ve visited us before. Thank you for your tremendous support during this unprecedented time. On behalf of the whole team, we wish you well in the coming weeks and trust that you will all remain healthy.
We look forward to re-opening on 17th of April 2020, subject to government directives.

On the splendid Southern Cape Garden Route, about 500 km from Cape Town, Knysna is one of South Africa's most beloved holiday destinations.
Nestled amidst leafy Milkwood trees, on the edge of the Knysna Lagoon, The Milkwood Collection offers a variety of self-catering accommodation to suit everyone’s taste. Our waterfront villas, Milkwood Bay and Number Eleven, offer five-star luxury with private swimming pools. For more affordable options, choose between Paquita - a villa perfectly situated on the water's edge - or one of Under Milkwood's 16 cosy timber chalets.
Our properties are a short amble away from the famous Knysna Heads - the two impressive sandstone peaks guarding the Knysna Lagoon entrance which opens in to the Indian Ocean. The Milkwood Collection is one of the few establishments in the area with direct access to the beach. The lagoon's calm and shallow shores allow safe swimming for kids and endless opportunities for water sports. The only challenge every morning is to decide between paddling a complimentary kayak or SUP board, or enjoying a casual stroll across the wide stretch of beach during low tide.
Uninterrupted views over the ever-changing lagoon towards the Featherbed Nature Reserve and the Outeniqua Mountains in the distance, add to the natural beauty. Knysna's temperate climate and the combination of forest, lagoon and nearby ocean make it an ideal year-round destination.
A host of exciting adventures awaits you on both the lagoon and in the surrounding area, which boasts several world class golf courses, cycling and hiking trails, bird watching, fishing, a myriad of family activities, and annual events such as the Knysna Oyster Festival.
We offer daily housekeeping and for your convenience, a laundry service, pre-ordered groceries as well as babysitting can be arranged.
