Under Milkwood

On the tidal shores of the famous Knysna Lagoon, lies a collection of 16 self-catering timber chalets, nestled amongst leafy vegetation and indigenous Milkwood trees. It is the only resort at the world-renowned Knysna Heads to have direct access to the beach.

This tranquil resort offers guests a haven of leisure and comfort, and wonderful views of the lagoon with the Outeniqua Mountains in the background.

Each chalet has two bedrooms and a fully-equipped kitchen with all the modern conveniences, such as a microwave, fridge and freezer, stove, TV and luxury Le Creuset cookware. Each chalet also has its own sundeck and barbecue facilities.

Our beach offers guests safe swimming and watersports in the protected bay, with SUPs and kayaks provided. Hiking trails, birdwatching and fishing can all be enjoyed close by, as well as many other attractions offered in Knysna.
