Stayed at: Under Milkwood

what a place!

We only stayed at the resort for 2 nights but it was an amazing experience. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The resort has its own "beach" with free canoes and paddle boards which was great to use on the lagoon. And it was very safe.

A new favourite

This place is such a gem that we kept extending our stay. We stayed at the bottom cottage, which has a deck that leads straight onto the private beach on the lagoon. There were kayaks, paddleboards and beach toys for everyone, and it was very safe for the kiddo to run wild. The braai was stocked with wood and the chalet with every amenity you could hope for. The staff were friendly, courteous and kind. The area is lovely with sun loungers for a perfect sundowner location.
