Under Milkwood is a tranquil beach getaway, crisp and clean, with refined warm, gentle touches throughout the house. Providing unrivaled privacy and seclusion, it is perfect for those who at the end of the day want to sit curled up on the couch, listening to the ocean and watching the waves roll into the bay while waiting for sunset.

Under Milkwood is nestled into what is termed the “Old Kom”, a protected bay where traditional fishing boats bob up and down on the water. A scenic walkway runs the length of this boulder enclosed bay all the way to Slangkop Lighthouse, the highest light house in the southern hemisphere.

With three bedrooms (one double bed, two single beds and one with a children’s bunk bed), two off-suite bathrooms, open plan living areas and separate patio and sun room, there is ample space for everyone to get their piece of this beach side paradise. The white sands of Long Beach are only a 5–7 minute walk from the cottage, ideal for swimming, surfing and fun in the sun. Or simply relax on the sun loungers on the patio.
White washed timber; elegant furnishing and complete privacy are just a few of the perks of this delightful seafront property. The main lounge ( with satellite TV ) and kitchen area are open plan with glass doors leading into the informal lounge and dining areas. This entire area opens up via sliding glass doors onto the garden with its beautiful Milkwood trees, a rare protected species here in South Africa.

Attention to detail is key at Under The Milkwood, whether you are off to the beach (beach towels, umbrella and picnic basket are supplied ) or wish to book an activity ( fishing, horse riding, surfing, wine tasting ). Continental breakfasts can be delivered fresh from the bakery at an additional charge making Under The Milkwood the ideal choice for both a self catering or B&B holiday.
