Hello and a warm welcome to The Milkwood Collection’s first Blog post on our brand new website!<\/p>\n

We hope you like the look and feel of our new design, which is intended to make it easy to access information. Our website is fully responsive, so you can enjoy viewing it at home, or on the go with your mobile or tablet.<\/p>\n

To read about the accommodation we offer, head over to the HOMEPAGE<\/a>. Hover over the names of our properties, and you will see tabs under each one for RATES and for BOOKING ONLINE. Under each property you can also check out our latest images in our PHOTO GALLERIES. If you would like to make a booking enquiry, simply complete the form on the CONTACT DETAILS<\/a> page, or if you have a question, just use the QUICK CONTACT form on the home page. If you’d rather hear a voice, then by all means, call us on +27 (0) 44 384 0745.<\/p>\n

There is so much to do, see and experience in Knysna, that being able to find information at your fingertips can come in handy. That is why we have made it easier for you by packing our website pages full of suggestions of places to eat and adventures to enjoy in and around Knynsa. Under the AREA INFO<\/a> button on the main menu, you will find lists of activities<\/a>, restaurants and pubs<\/a>, and golf courses in the area<\/a>. Not wishing to overwhelm you with information, we left a few stones unturned, but we can assure you that there are plenty of ideas to help you create memorable experiences during your stay.<\/p>\n

We will update this Blog on a regular basis to tell you more stories about things you can see and do around our part of the world and to keep you in touch with things happening in Knysna and at The Milkwood Collection.<\/p>\n

We want to connect with you. Outside of this Blog, you can find us on Facebook<\/a> and on Twitter.<\/a> We look forward to staying in touch. Thanks for stopping by!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
